New Watercolor Upload to Fine Art America – Fall Color 1, June 2020
It only took me forever to finally post this, actually a few days, but feels like “way” longer, lol! I started it, a simple posting, assuming “no big deal” but got waylaid by a heat index of 118 yesterday, sandwiched by rare Austin summer days to actually walk more than just at daybreak 😊 But…

PhotoPoem for – Dancing Flower – A Flower’s Soft Arms
*** A Flower’s Soft Arms Aromas of drifting daysshimmered among the sun’s early shifting shadowswarming a garden’s languid floral arms.The blooms’ shallow sculptures carved sunlight intovalleys, brushing eyebrows on ridges –I reached out.

Finding Color in the Fog – New Painting Upload, Sunrise Through the Fog
A small 8×8 inch oil completed late last year but only now been able to capture in a way I felt did it justice. The colors are laid in via glazed layers and the essence of the image changes as the light on it shifts. The original is no longer available, but prints, posters, and…

Dancing Flower – My Newest Palette Knife Painting ; Sometimes It’s Just About Making a Choice, Choosing the Emotion :)
