• Meryl Goudey – “Fluorescent Rose glows with oil over black acrylic. Red roses have always been my mother’s favorite flower. I was inspired by Georgia O’Keefe’s up-close style. My site is meryldenise.artistwebsites.com.”

• Cheryl Prather – “Tree at Hart Ranch – This is a collage of an old dead tree which stands twisted and strangely shaped.”
