I am showing a detail of a painting that I’m working on. It’s acrylic on gessoed paper. I am also using latex paint, the cute samples that Lowes is putting out each season. I’m liking this one, the way that the paint is lively.
Spring
I’ve been photographing the spring blooms. They are just a starting point for my paintings. I did this painting two years ago, but the azaleas look similar every year. A painting is 
an effort to recognize a moment in the passage.
Tangled Web
This painting if of a Cereus, an outrageous red bloom. A flower that is about 8 inches across. I may not have captured the light coming through the leaves, but I did show
a human imposition on nature, the grid pattern. This painting is currently on display at Art On Depot. The tangled web was that my website was down last night as Lunar Pages had technical difficulties. We can ignore nature and our environment, but when it doesn’t work, we will be scrambling.
Gallery Support
Thanks to Cathey Bolton, owner of Art on Depot, who represents me. We popped into the gallery today because Donna, Gregg’s mom was visiting. She believes it is the best gallery in Waynesville, and I agree! Cathey made my day by asking to buy this painting of mine! We are hoping for a good season of art sales through her gallery!
What is real?
We are surrounded by images, many of them electronic. Do you stop and think about the story that a picture is telling? Take time to ask what is real.
Globally
Woodpeckers are all over the world, but near trees with bugs, not cities with concrete. Where do paintings exist?
New work at Art on Depot
This painting of a sunflower just went to Art on Depot. See it tomorrow night during Art after dark. The painting is acrylic on paper, and NOT framed, which makes it affordable, and you pick the framing!
Scrutinize
I was working on this along with Searching. Scrutiny is a synonym of the word search, and this Eye Wonder is in the same theme.
Searching
The news is filled with people searching for missing loved ones. I don’t want to imagine what they are going through. I am continuing on the Eye Wonder series, and this one is influenced by the uncertainties of searching.
Really special occasions
I worked on unique greeting cards through the winter. You can send it to a loved one, or mat and frame it for yourself! A selection is at Art on Depot in Waynesville.
