Pop of Color

 It's mid summer and the bright sunshine and gorgeous colors of Florida's vegitation are  consuming me. I paint a vibrant lively abstract landscape. Here is the progression of the piece.

Whimsical

There is something to be said about letting your inner child out and play. After a day of sketching playful, amusing little characters, I decided to turn one of them into a painting.  Here is "The Butterfly Queen"  painting and the progression.

A painting for family

 This project was so much fun. I was asked by my stepdaughter and son-in-law for a diptych for their home in Texas. I sent them many sketches and they found one they both liked. I warned them that my work always evolves as I progress with the piece and they seemed excited to see what I was going to come up with. This is the initial sketch.


Then I got to work and the piece totally transformed itself. I wanted it to be colorful, energetic  and joyful because they are such a fun couple. It is now drying and will be sent to their new home in a few weeks.

Burst of Color

 

   Something definitely happened to me after having painted an all blue painting! I think I went into shock and had to snap out of it by using the brightest colors I had! Now I feel like myself again!!

Two painting and the process

    

   We finally moved into the new house and I have my studio all set up.  I love it and get right to work on two pieces. I feel newly inspired by my surroundings and paint!

A Pink Day

 I started this beautiful day enjoying the sunshine illuminating the grasses by the river which had all turned pink. By the end of the day, I had a little pink painting.

Shape

 

   A day of exploring a small mushroom. Color was not important. Only the shape, light and shade were detailed.
