Pillow of Garlic


The playful ease of drawing and painting this was so much fun.     I am a garlic lover and that seasoning finds its way into all my veggie dishes so one day I decided to paint something I love and this is the results.      My son and daughter-in-law fell in love with this painting so it now has a home gracing their wall, in their new home, in Folsom California.    So this one I get to visit often.

Peaceful Evening


What a wonderful time I had exploring the art of wet into wet and transitions of colors.    
This was a technique my teacher Yachiyo Beck used to explore colors and process.    I love the outcome.

Emergence





Emergence
This was an inspiration when walking Sofie on the island one morning and spotting a new growth of sunflowers emerging from behind a fence.     They had so much energy that I could not resist charging in with bright strong colors.
