'YELLOW STRAW'

'YELLOW STRAW'

Alkyd oil in linen panel.

11 X 14 inches.

'SUMMER READING'

YEARS AGO

I used to do free-lance illustration.

I came across this square original in my files.

The larger markings are

yellow oil pastel on acrylic.

White acrylic makes up the negative spaces

between the flying books, as well as

the designs on the bindings.

Black watercolor is brushed over the oil pastel

to provide textural interest.

About ten inches square.

The print is embellished with a touch of gold

on the halo and ID tag.

'HOME' again...

This little guy has found a home

and

a home in my print portfolio;

it is my most popular print now.

The signed edition of 50 is gilded on the halo

and the house's rooftop.

The print also is extended more vertically

with bands of red at the top and bottom.

WORKING WITH PAPER...

'PINK SAND'

has found a new home in one of the

collage wrapped mats which I made.

This reclining nude looks sharp in the new mount and frame.

of flowers shown on
