Even tho it isn’t April yet, the drips on this panel made me think of showers. The blocks interrupt the flow of the paint. Humans aren’t very successful at controlling nature, especially the weather.
Doesn’t Grow on Trees
Round has been interesting.
reuse
The front of this canvas was a failure. I’m working on abstraction on the back.
Circle
I need to come up with a snappy title for this piece. It is an interesting thing to work on. The squares grab the paint, and some squares are just painted.
Habitat Restore
This round piece of plywood was for sale at the Habitat store for $0.75. I couldn’t resist, but only got two. Now they’re gone. They came from speaker cabinets. I screwed it to the other board to work on it. The squares are mat board, to refer to QR codes. It isn’t taking the paint the way a flat surface would, so it’s hard to stay loose, when I keep running into edges. But as in oils, I do better when I keep adding paint. Now if I could only figure out how to get a pic on FB. I’m a Luddite on dial-up.
Master Gardeners
This is a flame azalea that will go in the Master Gardeners show in April. No, it’s a representation of a flame azalea. I’ve been looking at the nexus where humanity bangs into nature. This is a painting, not a flower.
Garden spot
This is for the Master Gardners show at Gallery 86 in Waynesville, NC on April 2. It’s been nice painting from a photo taken in the summer, while the high temp today was 26.
Truth in January
I am painting these flame azaleas from a photo. Now it’s cold, wet, and dark, what was it like when this photo was taken, and it was the height of blooming season? What is the truth about a garden?
Iris
This is for the Master Gardner’s show. I’m getting better at acrylics.
Master gardners garden
Do you see a stream with rocks and ferns? It’s a good start.
