Here they are. Prices upon request at rcanaga@gmail.com, heading "Mums"

Some New Chrysanthemum Paintings

Painting for the City of Lebanon Library

This 70x80 oil painting"Red Earth", will be hung at the Library in the community room on Wednesday the 26th at 11:00. I am so happy to be able to give back to the town that raised me. The painting is dedicated to the class of '68.
