BEES

I like Bees! I have painted a lot of bees in different paintings.

ALL DONE

Whew! It's finished! All those blues....pthalo, cobalt, ultramarine, ALL!

GETTING SOME COLOR

Underpainting the foreground and the flesh to bring some life into this work means some sitting, looking and mixing, now. It can no longer be avoided.

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.
