Barbara's Plate

"Barbara's Plate" 12" x 16" Watercolor on paper

When she heard about my plate series Barbara brought me one of her new dinner plates. I flanked it with two milkglass pieces, and linens befitting her lovely offering.

With as much white as was actually in my set up, I changed the background whites to a salmon I isolated in the bouganvilla on the plate.

Sweet Peas

"Sweet Peas" 12" x 16" Watercolor on paper

Sweet Peas' blossoms intrigued me as she lounged in a plate groove in a resale shop. Her colors and her asymmetrical design suited me.

Incomplete words tease and stimulate the brain. Placed as they are here, they become a focal area. The other players are linked by the meandering strand of beads. The contrasting value in the arc of the plate leads back to the the words.
