The perfect balance of atmosphere presents itself in this masterful still life, Dining on the Deck.  A beloved outdoor setting for the artist, on her deck at her home in Colorado Springs, had to be shared with the public in an original, artistic way.  The high deck overlooking the lovely Colorado blue spruce, Douglass pines, and oak, proved a perfect place for a table set with a healthy lunch, wine, flowers, and a good book.  The blissful scene exhibits a special place to contemplate.
