ART NOUVEAU

WANDERING

around the garden this morning

in the raking light.

These buds...

set seeds.

JATROPHA GOUT

OF NOTE:

that black plastic band on the palm tree

keeps the iguanas from climbing

to

delicious orchids.

AUCTION for AIDS HELP in KEY WEST

This little bird has every INTENTION to eat every berry on the branch.

And "intention" is word-o'-the-week on IF's site.

This is a painting I did for the upcoming

22nd Annual AIDS HELP ART AUCTION

SUNDAY, MARCH 18- 2012

at the

CASA MARINA GRAND BALLROOM

1500 Reynolds Street in Key West.

Champagne Preview begins at 4:30 PM

Bidding commences at 6PM.

The painting is titled "THE BEST."

These best-berries are 23 carat gold.

Our auction inspiration this year is seeds or pods and

a celebration theme:

"LIFE BEGINS."

The square panel is rough brushed with

sand in acrylic, with more acrylic on top.

Here's a close up of some of the pattern work.

This annual event is a good way to meet local artists

and sample the visual and tactile talents that make our island community unique.

A big 'thank you' to all the volunteers who put it together!
