Art Progress on “Twelve”
Progress on this piece is coming along nicely. The original remains untouched. A copy in my sketchbook was to be a study for a painting in oil but I don’t think I’m going to do that. I like the two pieces and will not do another. What started out as black and…
Strawberry Kisses. Painting with Food

Nesting Place; for rest, sight and purpose.
Abstract beginnings grew into a trio of birds resting in the hair of a young woman. This Asian flair painting shows her rooted in the earth, facing forward at the flowers that stand tall. There aren’t as many flowers as before, she might think, but there are indeed flowers. Her…
