Roses Are Red

8"x 8" oil on linen board

On what was an overcast gray day, these red roses from the garden filled the studio with such a sweet fragrance and looked lovely in the window's light.
I tried to come up with a poem that started "roses are red, skies are gray.." but they all sounded rather lame!

Lady In Red

I am happy with the abstract nature of this piece.

Done from a photo it was very hard for me not to noodle her face in part because she was so beautiful.  I'm trying to just lay it down and not get too fussy!!

Caught In The Light

12" x 9", oil on board

While vacationing in Mexico, this artist friend was caught in the doorway surrounded by the warm light of the area.  I loved the tonal quality of the scene and tried to push that a bit.
