Balls Will Be Balls

"Balls Will Be Balls"

Pastel on sanded Paper
Balls! I painted more balls in my mural painting career than any other single item.  Mostly I've painted sports balls in boy's bedrooms — stacks of them in unlikely places; bowling balls about to roll off of door frames, balls the size of marbles, baseballs with stitching, autographed basketballs, soccer, golf and ping pong balls.  Baby, you've got balls!

Fractalish

"Fractalish"
24" x 36"
Acrylic on wrapped canvas
black and blue painted border
When I first saw Jock Cooper's artwork I was drawn to his computer generated images with Fibonacci swirls and a bold use of color.  Once we became friends, we both wondered how a painter would execute the essence of what math equations had done for him via a software program.  I assigned myself the challenge.  


This is another in a series of fractal-like paintings I made during this particular quest. I hope you enjoy the series while I work on a few more house portraits.

I always appreciate your visits.

Nearly! Almost!

"Nearly! Almost!" 
6" x 6"
Oil on canvas panel

My peonies are nearly, almost a day away from bursting into the plant world's version of tutus!  I'm so excited to have them at my disposal—to look at, photograph and to bury my nose in.  I love the fragrance of peonies.

When I shot the photo for this painting, a few hours ago, the background was the barbecue grill.  I added a seldom-used color to my palette and find it pleasing with the necessary greens and reds.  It's simply called Green Blue. 

Thank you for looking at my art today.
