Side by Side

I hesitated placing the red Gala next to the Granny Smith because the contrast seemed too obvious; and by then the potential solution disappeared right before my eyes.



Oil on gessoed panel 5x7 inches

I hesitated placing the red Gala next to the Granny Smith because the contrast seemed too obvious; and by then the potential solution disappeared right before my eyes. The golden delicious was at its peak of ripeness so I ate it and remover the caution light. Painting fruit each day does have its advantages but adding glazes requires initial layers to dry opening the door to new insight. Ready, set, go; stop, look, listen.

Pasture

A February snow has hidden all the grass and ice covers the stream disguised underneath the drifts; but somewhere the seeds for another spring are waiting.


Watercolor Postcard on Lana French made paper 4x6 inches

A February snow has hidden all the grass and ice covers the stream disguised underneath the drifts; but somewhere the seeds for another spring are waiting. Perhaps a reminder of how the seasons come and go can be refreshed with an Upstate Postcard and take you, if only for a moment, to the place where your own seeds for a new day are waiting.

First to Arrive

Each spring I walk around the flower beds trying to guess which tulip will be the first to open and match the pictures on the sales brochure.


Oil on gessoed panel: 6x9 inches (15x23 cm)

Each spring I walk around the flower beds trying to guess which tulip will be the first to open and match the pictures on the sales brochure. Planted next to the daffodils I assumed that deer wouldn't be interested in tulip leaves. Wrong. A full moon and no motion detector lights allowed the deer to select the choicest of all the fresh sprouts. This one 'survived'. Part of a series of flower paintings that are finally getting the finishing touches (slowly 'curing' oils moved them to the back burner) begun many months ago..
