Vision
I worked on this, some more.
putting the time in
The more time I put in at the studio, the more I get out of the experience
. Huh!
Vision
This is a piece I started last year. There are about 30 pieces of monofilament threaded thru the iris.
more Holly
I’m on the fence, about 
whether to give a recognizable element of a plant, or to go completely abstract. I don’t think you’d recognize this as a holly bush without the title.
more Holly
More paint, but I’m struggling with the greens. Or maybe it’s the yellow.

Unease
I added the center panel today. sorry the photo’s blurry.
simmered
One of the luxuries of being able to work on my art every day, is that I can let a painting simmer, until I’m ready to get back to it. This landscape
has been bugging me, just one little part. I hung it in our living room, and I knew I would have to do more work. Now I’m not afraid of “destroying” a painting. I hear deKooning say “kill it, and bring it back to life.” To me it’s like kids and dogs, you can’t let them or YOUR painting win.
Unease-redux
I’ve added more collage elements. The pupil of her right eye is a disc from a computer drive. On the detail you can see my reflection. The blue in her hat is from some heavy paper I found here in the gym. I looked up polymer resin. I wonder if it would preserve the charcoal marks, or just make a big mess. Too expensive to experiment.
