Conflagration

16 x 20 acrylic on canvas

Watching all the fires this summer,  so sad, so many acres ruined.  Between climate change and man they just continue to get worse. 

Color Exploding Bouquet

Last week my friend Barbara came over to social distance on my back porch.  OK to drink some wine, but she brought me this huge beautiful bouquet of alstroemeria from her garden.  The colors were just unbelievably vilush and vivid.  I knew it needed to be painted, but I wanted to express the explosion of color that i was seeing and knew it couldn't be just realistic,  So again I tried to combine the world of realizme with abstraction.

In the Jungle

Still bored and playing with an old stencil I found and some interesting tissue paper.  Where else would you find leaves like these?

Daisy Dog

Oh, my gosh in the cover of the studio is another poured acrylic painting.  What could I do with it?
Maybe I will do a negative shape painting.  And so Daisy Dog, a greyhound of course.

Lonely Lady

Sitting on the back porch alone and wondering what to paint I glanced over at a pot of leaves and realized it had bloomed.  It was one single white calla lily. Not sure if the it was the lily or me who was lonely.  During covid lockdown you can feel very alone.

Iris Sisters

We finally loosened up a little and met in gardens with social distancing.  Also was a BYO beverage.  Somethings coffee, iced coffee, wine.  Whatever.  These 3 iris were each in a different friends garden, but all of the same genius.  Hence the name.

Under the Sea

Being bored again and finding a poured acrylic background canvas looked for something to paint on it and decided it looked like it was underwater.
I added a large moon snail shell and a small sea horse.
