The color combination wowed me in a satisfied hunger way. Something about the dark green field in the back and the colors began to build. It was from a photo I took of our flowers several years ago, but definitely not matching in colors. If you like Thick Buttery Layers... you will LOVE First Bloom"    Trust the Process Many times in life things seem to get 'turned around' and more negative thoughts surface over positive thoughts. We all have our own path to travel and God gifts us the ability to make decisions on the journey.  Not sure about you, but some of my first adult decisions were not the finest, in fact they were pretty off center for me.  I was young

"Every painting has a reason and a season. It felt like abstract but I did not know how it would progress. I sectioned the canvas in quarters and laid basic colors in weaving them between.  I worked while the paint was crazy wet. I wanted the edges to form the boundary defining objects.  Can you see repeated patterns in this painting? The purple, red and blue merge through three times.  Yellow patterns in quarters three times... and three yellow pulls on or close to the vase.  Three large turquoise areas around the outside of the vase. Two on one side and one on the opposite side. So much of this is accidental, but is it truly accidental?  Part of painting is the intuitive pull of the palette knife as if in rhythm to the music playing in the room. Purposeful painting never has fresh

Most people exist, that is all.” Oscar Wilde The dog days of summer in Texas.  Temps are hitting 100 plus but thoughts of September are in the air. I even ordered two new PACT shirts with long sleeves with light weight cotton. Pact makes up 55 -65 percent of my wardrobe. I have worn their clothes for the past 25 years. They are made in India by a woman owned company. Best return policy I have ever seen, and the best quality of anything in my closet.  Their socks are so soft and last for years....  So much of clothing, but it is important in the studio when I work, that I am comfortable and 'washable'!  This particular painting was in progress over the past year and I finally dug it out and finished it.  The paint

California Dreaming... on a winters day.  With the temps in the 100's, I would be California Dreaming on a hot Texas summer day! These are hot red poppies done in a pop art type fashion with color steaming from the canvas!  I have been thinking about painting flowers this next week, and posting this older painting made me hungry to do it!  Poppies are one flower I have never planted.  Might be too hot in Texas.  We have hydrangeas, iris, zinnia, marigolds, roses, dahlias, and more!  Right now only the marigolds are hanging in the heat but fading rapidly.  On another side, I will share that I just finished a few weeks of study in Hebrews and have started in Romans.  Not using any study guide... just reading and cross referencing verses. Some nights it has brought me to tears, other nig

C S Lewis Have you ever heard someone say, "Wishful thinking!"?  I know today I was out in the garden cutting roses. I had high hopes or WISHFUL THINKING of collecting a vase full for the weekend. I found two roses, one yellow one from our Orphan Rose that belonged to Terry's mom, and one red one from my JFK rose bush. I also cruised by the peach tree and

It is NOT done, but I am studying it closely and waiting for the right time to approach the surface with oils.

I only did a little bit more and I sold it as it was.  I wish I could stop myself midway in painting and find a balance because it is here my heart sings. It is here I believe I have found the simplicity of what i seek to express. Is it possible?
