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.
