"ABSTRACT FLOWERS"  8 x 10

Another attempt at abstract representation is turning out to be more of an enjoyment and less of a struggle. The challenge is in knowing 'when to stop' and let the colors speak for themselves. You might not see these forms as flowers, but I would be happy to hear what YOU see in this painting. Thank you.

"SINGIN' THE BLUES"  8 x 10

Music captures many emotions, and it was fun to try to capture this guitarist at his strumming. I like the contrast of blue and gold with a splash of red thrown in.

MISSION ARCH WITH FLOWERS   5x7

I really enjoyed painting this from my photo. It is a companion piece to the double arches on an earlier post. Painting the bricks and textures and lighting was a challenge to my neophyte brushwork, but I am pleased with the results. Maybe the flowers need a bit more drama?
