Transition 1

Working to be more abstract.
Transition may represent several thinks: Dark to light, Winter to Spring, Sun to Moon, and Realism to Abstraction.

Summer Evening.

 Redoing an old piece with strange image. Think it was the year of the either ram or lamb. Now full of Ginko leaves.
Might call it:
"Summer Evening".

Sunrise on a Cloudy Day

So many times I'm really in search of a name for my painting, but this time in the middle of working it suddenly came to me that it should be called Sunrise on a Cloudy Day.  So I added the sun.

Acrylic and gold pen on 20 x 16 canvas.

Note the revision above.  It needed an anchor to keep it from floating.

Flight to the sun

Playing on a rainy day.  I had found a pair of wood panels 11 x 8 with carved filigree edges so I played indoors and created something reminiscent of my summer garden.  I played with gold leaf, glitter, iridescent paint, and metallic gold pen.  It was fun.

Painting on wood

I'm trying something new.  Painting on wood and letting the grain show through as the background.
Interesting process. Untitled on 9 x 12 on Birch cradles.  Must remember to paint varnish the same direction as the wood grain.
The orchids are on 14 x 11 wood panels.  These are the last of the first group.  At the moment I'm choosing this frame.  Of course, I may always change my mind before I get it to the gallery.

New Cards at the Schack Art Center

Here are my New Cards now available at the Schack Art Center in Everett. 

Of course if you're on Whidbey you can always find them at Artworks Gallery in Greenbank.

Thought the birds would be nice for spring.

Golden Rain

 After living through last month of January in the NorthWest there is no way I could leave out the rain,  I think it has fallen at sometime every day.
I did add a hope of spring with the yellow iris, wishing for the warm yellow rays of the sun.
