Lazy Evening Flames

"Lazy Evening Flames"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard
The colors waggled overhead like a fire too lazy to lick the underside of a log. They would peter out before igniting even the driest kindling. And you know, they did just that — flickered and extinguished themselves into night.  

I hadn't painted a sky in a while, so this colorful one was my choice.

Fronds

"Fronds"
8" x 10"
Acrylic on canvas panel
In the humidity of the tropical dome at the conservatory were numerous varieties of fronds. The late afternoon light bounced around in that moist environment, revealing a spectrum of color. 

Number two in the series is similar, in that it is on a black canvas with metallic colors.  And once again, I took it this far and let it dry.  Tomorrow I will see what it's like to work on a dried piece and introducing new elements.

Thank you for taking a peek at my work.
