I don’t know if it’s because the canvases I’m using are sooo old, or what. This spiral is on gessoed paper, and the acrylics didn’t bead up on it. I am pleased w/ the momentum in these new spirals.
Spring
I’ve been working on spirals all winter, and I think I’m getting somewhere! Also I’ve conquered my fear of acrylics. I have to investigate varnish, these babies are as dry as toast!
Detail
This is a detail, the upper right quad. I’m going to name this piece “Changes” because my original idea was about life and death. No matter how much we prefer the familiar, we each face changes and there is nothing we can do to stop them.
Horseback
A girl on a paint pony galloped by my studio window. Spring break in the country!
Title
I know all the COOL artists title their work before they start. Soooo together. Which may explain my struggle. I have spirals and the Earth, but no pithy title.
Spring
Thru the winter I worked in acrylics because I have a propane heater. It does NOT like fumes! I believe I’ve learned enough to no longer be afraid of them, but I will go back to oils until next winter. I continue to explore spirals as well. I’ve moved away from helixes. There are lots of different kinds of spirals.
Happy Easter
Chocolate bunnies.

I continue exploring spirals.

These are acrylics. I’m getting more used to them. I’m using the spiral as a symbol of life, like DNA.
Ah, vacation.
I have a studio in San Antonio, so that brings my total to 3! For years I had none. Cosmic payback? I worked on drawing and collage.
