CROCHET

Mom crocheted in her younger days. The blanket in this painting is derived from one of her creations. Her blankets were NEVER rectilinear. I've often thought that it is worth being an artist just because one gets to see the work in progress.

STARTING A PAINTING

I've just started this painting. Cleaned my palette, mixed some colors, try to catch something.

SEARCHING FOR FORM

Sitting at the nursing home, Mom said "All that stuff we have in the house...it ain't worth nothing, except the flowers." So I start to try to find a form.

NEW IDEA START



Some sketches of Mom.

SELF WITH HAT again



Adding a little pointillism to introduce the the squiggles for viewer's contemplation. Or maybe this subject (me) is "mental."
