ICE DANCING WITH MIGRANTS

There is an article in the New Yorker about this new color discovered or invented called "Olo". Science says that people can't see it. There is a lot that people can't see! I love color and one thing I have noticed is that people (non-visual-artists) cannot identify so very much of the color available in this world!! This is a new painting with layers of glazes and mixes of color. This photograph of painting is limited.

BEE, FISH AND FLOWERS

Painting a fish foreshortened from the front was more of challenge than expected. Flowers need and feed some lovely bugs! Postcards are great for practice, practice, practice.

POSTCARDS, HOME MADE

I cut some matboard scraps into the regulation size of the U. S. postoffice - 6" x 4.25". It is fun making postcards. Maybe I will do some political ones. Or, at least current events?

WITH A DRAGONFLY, BIRDS AND MEMORIES

One of my paintings in the TELL ME A STORY exhibit won second prize. There is money associated with this prize which I will get when the exhibit is over and I pick up the painting...If it doesn't sell...!! It's a winner!
On the figure's shoulder there is a red dragonfly AND the shell of a cicada. These two images together refer to someone who has passed on.

BUTTERFLIES, MEMORIES AND A LITTLE MUSIC

I am glad that these 3 paintings are going to Round Rock Penrose Theatre Gallery. They will be there until July in an exhibit called TELL ME A STORY.
