My exhibit Retrospective of 30 watercolors at the London Chelsea Arts Club was an opportunity to show at this greatest arts club ever, started by Whistler. Over the years I’ve painted the beloved club cat who used to visit through my piano room / bedroom window, now in their permanent collection. I’ve made many paintings of the bedrooms I’ve stayed in, the club rooms I’ve met up with friends in, and the famously beautiful private garden. Here are some:

I made watercolors of the various indoor rooms I’ve stayed in, two of which have forever homes with collectors now in California:
