"GRACE"

MORE BLUE for you. Again a simple brush line drawing on a wonderfully tactile background. It's mixed with transparent acrylic gesso which feels like fine sand paper when dry.

Only a bit of color for the bird's dinner and tail; and a touch of white to continue the table-top left. This small painting (4 by 6 inches) gets a small monogram signature below the tail. SOLD/ PRIVATE COLLECTION

BIRD WITH LETTERS

OWLS live in the dense oaks across the street from a friend's house in central Florida. Sometimes they call even in the daytime from the dark shadows there. Their wingspans are surprising as they swoop low and silent at dusk.

The background is similar to Egyptian faience in color. There are some color additions in pencil and crayon and this drawing is a mixture of acrylic paint and india ink with flow agent. About 5 X 7 inches.

FLUTTER-BY

Water color and ink and acrylic......SOLD

HOME


When a dog gets adopted from a pound they go to their 'forever' home.
The title for this painting is "I ONCE WAS LOST..." from the hymn 'Amazing Grace.'
Maybe Grace is the dog's name?

ANCIENT doggies

This very-mixed-media piece is painted on dark blue acid-free board.


There are little designs of pyramids and papyrus so I assume they're running along the Nile.

SENTIMENT


I DON'T want to forget this new image. It's a painting over a collage of tissue over a dappled black and white background.

I like the look; 'like graffiti. And I still get to play with some letter forms.
