The Letter

"The Letter" 15" x 22"

This painting was a study in oranges and reds...obviously.

But it was also a combination of shapes and textures, lost

and found edges, soft and hard edges, overlapping shapes

and some negative space. I just got two potted amaryllis

bulbs and they are already shooting up their tall heads. One

is orange and the other a candy cane stripe. I have some

paperwhites ready to go as well, but I need to put those in

some sort of vessel and put the marbles around their bases.

I really like seeing their roots twirl around through the glass.

So I am growing some new subject matter, right here in my

living room!
