Blue and Yellow

Another still life with sunflowers which is a theme I keep coming back to. It must be the spirit of Vincent Van Gogh in my studio influencing me. This is a collage using a wonderful piece of yellow dot paper (the dots are bits of wax) that my friends brought back to me from Santa Fe. I must use it sparingly because it tends to call attention to itself.
This painting is For Sale for $650.00. This piece sold in June 2010.

Havana Serenade

This piece was a class demonstration on using connecting geometrics. It took on a life of its own as another rumination on our Cuban experiences. I am sure it means something profound—but to me it is a celebration of the Cuban people and their music.
This piece is part of the collection of a popular Colorado sculptor, Mary Mansfield.

But I Like To Sit With My Back To It

This collage was done from a life drawing session. I did the drawing of the woman with a pointed dowel and India ink and then embellished with painted paper and found papers. The title refers to Gertrude Stein’s quote which I am paraphrasing; “I like a good view, but I like to sit with my back to it”.
