Castlewood Canyon Again

"Castlewood Canyon Again"
6" x 6"
Oil on canvas panel
In the part of the country where my friend lives, even her dead vegetation is so much prettier to look at than where I live in Illinois. Hers turns many shades of copper and gold.  Mine turn the color of tin, galvanized aluminum and lead. 


So be it.  I'm here, my studio is tailor made for me, and the promise of spring is purring from the throats of the sandhill cranes overhead.

Thank you for making the trip.

Water Lilies

"Water Lilies"
8" x 8"
Acrylic mixed media
In a world where lilies bloom in shades of sapphires and rubies, and their leaves are burnished in coppers and golds, tranquility is as common as sand.

I changed the color of the lily pads to match a particular copper paint I wanted to use, and the blooms went along for the ride.  I accepted their choice in the matter and accented the piece with a spiral sun-like swirl.

By the way, the "Adam's Grapes" painting was not spotted by my son.  He missed the opportunity to receive the piece as a gift from his ol' Mom.

Thank you for looking.
