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.
GMO Flower
Not really. What is the goal? The flower industry is lucrative. I could use some money. Every movement has an effect. How do we prioritize? Short term vs. long term consequences.
Ravens or Crows
Ravens
steal shiny things, unripe fruit and nuts. As their habitat shrinks and is polluted, they adapt, sort of.
Peonies
This started as an abstract color field painting. The peony just butted in!
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.
Hand built
All of the old farm buildings were built by hand, with local materials. Those materials have weathered and aged into beauty. This painting of a potato barn is at Art on Depot, Waynesville.
Detail
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.
