Some of the titles below did not post. Maybe if I were on the computer instead of my tablet, I could do a better job of editing. But it is so nice to be outside on the deck. Birds are singing and I can smell honeysuckle.  

New Works.

Kandinsky Blocks. 

Standing Out  In A Crowd

Strata

This painting is from a photo I found in a magazine years ago. Does anyone know what kind of flower it is? Its' structure is so beautiful and I love the contrast of yellow against its' complimentary color, violet.

This is a close up of a close up. The painting is about twice as large. I just love this detail as it becomes a better composition than the original.

I am obviously inspired by Georgia O'Keefe. More than that, though, I love ultra close up views of subject matter. I will take my camera and focus right down into one to three inches of an object. Then I will do a large painting of the tiny space. If you get in close enough, it becomes abstract, emphasizing on color, texture and form.

Using a limited pallet enables you to create a composition that "holds together". The color scheme is complimentary ie. red is across the color wheel from green. Complimentary colors always work well together.
