New Orleans - amid its watery element. Still have to add the labels but making the map makes me think of all those wonderful walks when I visited there last month. Somehow the act of map making helps one understand the spirit of a place.
Wishful Thinking. Spring Florals
Wishful thinking - a pair of wannabe spring florals, paper whites and anemones. Acrylic on wood panels, 12 x 36 ".
South West Study
Landscape study inspired by walking up the canyon at Tent Rocks, south of Santa Fe. Acrylic on canvas, beginning with a Burnt Sienna toned background. 12 x 12".
The last of winter (hopefully)
Warned to expect a snowstorm on Monday night I painted this. "View from a window" scene and then, happily, we had no snow.
Back to owls.
Back to owls, this time a small barred owl based on the stuffed owl on display at the Peabody Museum in Néw Haven, CT. A very small owl , only 7 x 5 ", on a canvas board. Acrylic against a night sky of mid value purple.
Big, Red Fox
Walking at the Point early one morning, a few walks ago, I met a lady coming in the opposite direction. "There's a Big, Red Fox coming this way" she said, "You might want to carry a big stick." So naturally and stickless, I set off in the direction she had come from. Alas no sign of the fox, but if I had seen him, this is what he might have looked like....
More Still life
Acrylic still life, 24 x 24", still in process.
