This beauty is 12x12 gallery wrapped canvas. I was experimenting with yellow greens and violets and she came to life. I call her "Weathering the Storm" because it looks so stormy in the background.
This is "Dissolving Like Spun Sugar", another 12x12 gallery wrapped canvas. She is an experiment with the use of walnut oil as a medium. As you can see, I used the oil quite heavily. It was interesting that the oil kept spreading and running over a period of hours. The mediums that I normally use stay in place. I think it is a very unique piece.
"Gossamer Wings", 16x20 gallery wrapped canvas is another in ongoing experimentation with transparency. I love the way that the background color comes through the petals of the flower.
"Moonlight at the Garden Center" is a gallery wrapped 24x36. My husband has been experiencing some medical issues (nothing serious, just attention-getting) and I was not able to paint for a week or so. When I finally got back into the studio, I just wanted to fling paint around. And I "ran home to mama", so to speak, with a return to Phthalo blue, one of my favorite colors. The vast majority of this painting was done with a 2 inch wide, ratty, disposable brush - like the kind you would use to paint bits of door trim. I had intended to use the brush only to lay in the general shapes, but I just kept going and going. The painting just poured out me.
This is "Standoff". She is roughly 20 x 30 gallery wrapped canvas. I call her Standoff because she is just so thorny. She obviously needs some room and, perhaps, doesn't play so well with others.
