Chocolate Iris Floral

this lovely painting.... has been reworked from an earlier version. the deeper sepia tones have extra layers of wash... which darken the value. i enjoy it more now. the richness and glow are a bit more evident.

Cows and Landscapes

,
these small acrylics are reworks of some previous paintings last fall. i enriched the focus.. and softened the edges-- also painted more dramatic fields of color to pump up the drama. the effect is powerful, jewel-like portraits of our 4-legged friends....

Banana Botanical

Crazy Bananas!... this piece is from the Ecuadorian show i had a few years back. it was a smaller study for a larger painting of bananas. i particularly like the color.. and the build up of bananas. the botanical is a favorite theme of mine... and Ecuador is a major exporter of bananas.

tell me your thoughts !
