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.
flame azaleas
I’m doing some paintings for the Master Gardners show. This is acrylic on gessoed paper.
Acrylic washes
I am impressed with the color subtlety from these washes. Some of the paints are murky and don’t make good washes, but this red did.
paper
This is one of the photos from the Master Gardners. HCAC is hosting a show of artworks based on various gardens. I started this on gessoed paper as a sketch. The washes are interesting. I’m using acrylics, which I still contend with.
color fields
I’m still struggling w/ acrylics. This is an effort to loosen up.
