Recyclables become Magical


Here is my latest project. It is unlike anything I have ever done. It is the largest piece (approx. 20"x30"), it is evolving without a precise drawing to follow, and it has no theme or cohesiveness. And yes, it is frightening to try and execute something so foreign to me, and exhilarating as each new piece takes form, and surprises and delights me as magical forms take place and whimsy drops in to add her handiwork. I showed this to my son, David, and he said he cannot wait to see what it becomes; me too!

Recognize the Subject?

I painted this picture for my neighbor, Alexis, for her birthday. It was so much fun to put my paints to use again. Although, I have so many mosaic creations sitting in my subconscious demanding to be made that sadly this may be the last painting I do for awhile.
