Inspired by J.M.W. Turner, Georgia O'Keefe, Massimo Cruciani, Edgar Degas and many others, I am pleased to be an artist painting in oils (palette knife and brush), soft pastels, paintings on glass and now watercolors. My landscapes are driven by my travel memories. My flowers are inspired by the actual thing -- I once had a pressed and dried flower business. And my skies -- my hero is Turner. What more can I say? My motto: "Life is short, use color!" I hope you enjoy my show.

The Four Irises: The Last Iris, painting on glass
Sadly, this is the last iris of the four. It was a beautiful, deep colored iris with iridescence and luminosity. This iris almost glittered in the sunlight but had deep undertones, also.
As mentioned before, irises are difficult to paint. They wind and furl all over the place, so immediately they're a challenge, then add in their shadows and varying hues! Oy vei!
I hope you have enjoyed my little iris display -- I'm off to California to seek more fodder for artwork and drink some wine, eat some food and get a breather from regular life. See you in about a week or so!
For my website, you'll need to go to "Works/Glass Paintings/The Four Irises" for the complete view of the artwork. For my other art blogs, just look below.
