Some new work...nice to have time to think about ideas ;)

 Just had some photos taken, so I am going to pop in a few new images.

Now that I am not teaching I am finding more time to think through my art ideas. Some change is coming - though I will be focused on the nature and forest theme for awhile. 

I am missing the rich color variety of my earlier work, so looking to fit that in. Also with my background in metals and design, I want to try these arrangements - (the first one).

Reading Suzanne Simard's "Finding the Mother Tree," only contributes to my awe of the interconnected of the forest ecosystems and the symbiotic nature of it all.

All are acrylic paintings - on panel

"We found water at Killen Creek"- 3 separate paintings - 32"H x 18"W x 1.5" D

 

"Drainage" 36" x36" - this is a large one, but am pleased with the scale and plan to do several more.

 

 

 

 

 

"Dry Branch Swing" - this was updated 12" x12" painting + branch and thread

untitled at the moment - my favorite black branch that I check on frequently through the season. Acrylic paint on panel + glass headed pins and marker
