I live in a rain forest, but nothing like a jungle in South America. Yet, I can see the devastation caused
by clearing the land. This is a new technique, using Keto dye on plywood, as well as paint and charcoal.

Moving Canna Screen
We are taking the Canna Screen out of Art on Depot tomorrow, unless you swoop in and buy it! 80″x60″, oil on two panels.
Eyes, portals
For more than a year I have been working with eyes, especially women’s eyes. This painting on panel has a lot of pastels drawn into it. Looking forward, inward, outward and with a nod to what came before.
Habitat Auction
Oct. 9, from 5:30 to 8:30 at Frog Level Brewing is the Waynesville Habitat for Humanity Auction. I’ve donated another 
one in this series which are called Dahlia. Our Restore sells these fine quality plywood circles. I’ve used acrylics and black enamel. The circle is 8.5 inches across.
Nature disturbed
I’ve been working on these. The foam flower has given me the most trouble! The praying mantis’s have been interesting. One is on two canvases, the swath down the middle is the mounting board, not part of the painting. The other one is on a panel. So far, I struggle more with acrylic on canvas, than on panels. But the canvases were just sitting there!
Too Bad
This hummingbird was not successful.
A Good Marriage
Architecturally when walls made of different materials are joined, it is called a marriage. This screen- oil on two panels, depicts a log wall meeting a hand stacked stone fire place. See this piece in the window at Art On Depot in Waynesville.
