New Work

Found a little Swallowtail lying in the garden the other day and tried to decide how I could incorporate it's beauty in a piece of art. The Iris is painted from a photo taken in a friends garden.  The butterfly wings are real.
Coated in gel medium to preserve them and carefully collaged onto the painting.

Courtyard at the Watcom

 Had a wonderful day visiting the Watcom Museum in Bellingham, WA . It seems there are 2 buildings, the historic City Hall and the much  newer Lightcatcher.  As we were leaving the sun coming through cast these great shadows caughing my eye.  I also was enamored with the fanciful bird sculpture sent in the center of the courtyard.
