Soft passages of pink and beige, with drizzles of black ink. Dreamy but not too sweet. I love the spots where the ink “bloomed” into organic almost flower-like shapes. See the bit along the left edge, almost halfway down. Or some of the areas along the bottom edge. Reminds me of hydrangea? Hyacinth? Or something […]
A small 8-inch square painting in blues and reds with lots of movement. It feels joyous to me. The second photo shows how these paintings look when viewed from the side. They stand out nicely from the wall, or are able to stand on their own. 8 x 8 inches, acrylic paint and ink on […]

The photo below shows what I mean by “mounted on gallery-wrap canvas”. The painting is done on […]
Sweeping greens and purples and blacks, painted on scrapbooking paper. You can see some of the pattern from the paper especially around the edges. 12 x 12 inches, acrylic paint and ink. Mounted on gallery-wrap canvas.
I have been waiting to post photos of so many new paintings until I come up with just the perfect titles. It bugs me to name things #1 or Untitled or Green because I believe in the value of a good title to lead the viewer through my thought process. But sometimes the words just […]
The National Collage Society’s postcard show is such a cool show. It’s exactly what it sounds like; all entries are postcard-sized: 4×6 inches, no bigger, no smaller. Dozens and dozens of them line the walls, each one a tiny gem. My entry, “Red Sky At Morning”, is pictured at right. We’re fortunate this year to […]
