Thinking in Black & White-Thinking in Shades of Gray
During the national elections of 2010 I became very tired of listening to political rhetoric. The messages were so Black and White, like a horse with blinders.  I have a great fear of voters who sharing that kind of tunnel vision. I much prefer term employed in Thinking in Shades of Gray.  Weighing the options and establishing your own personal conclusions.





Also at the Lowell
"You Can't Get There From Here"
10 x 8 collage on Canvas.

You Can’t Get There From Here is pretty self explanatory.  How often have you asked for directions, especially in small European towns where the narrow village roads were never built to accommodate modern day traffic, and about half way through realized you are even more confused?  Sometimes it might just be easier to say- you can’t get there from here.

Waiting for Summer & Purple Anemone

I painted from a photo I took last summer of chard
in the garden.  I was just going to call it  "Chard", and  then
"Swiss Chard",  and then "Rainbow Chard",  but it didn't have any yellow or orange.  And then, I began to get so hungry looking at it, I called it:  "Waiting for Summer".
Acrylic on canvas 14 x 11


And while I'm still waiting for spring, I painted, "Purple Anemone", one of the first bulbs to come up in my garden .  Acrylic on canvas 14 x 11
