Flowers in a Vase

Flowers in a Vase includes my homegrown flowers.  I changed some of the colors to make the painting contain orange and to create it from impulse.   I had fun with this work because glass and water allow one to look through the clear water and glass vase to see the background.  Sometimes the background has all sorts of changes, and sometimes it looks exactly the same.  In addition, the almost cylinder shape of the vase allowed me to focus on ellipsis: the water, base of the vase, and top of the vase. I love painting glass and water and the flowers give the painting life.  This work is not for sale.

The Tomato Plant

This depicts a tomato plant, growing in my backyard.  I used the red tomatoes to create an artistic triangle.  I love using color to create a beautiful composition.  It is acrylic, measuring 11" x 14."

Hill Quote

I found a quote about making quality artwork. In this case, Adrian Hill is talking about trees. He writes, “a tree is painted to…express his [the artist] appreciation for it,” He wrote a book, On Drawing and Painting Trees. People often paint things, seeing they are beautiful and decide to depict that beauty. This photo is from Amazon.
