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: Second Part", painting on glass
This is actually a bit of fun for me. Separating out the irises from one another, I like this one best.
You don't see too many straight lines in nature, but this particular yellow iris had a fold that, looking straight on, appeared to be a perfectly level line! That was an unusual line for me to paint without it looking silly. Hopefully I succeeded.
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.
I feel that this is one of my best glass paintings so far. A difficult process, quite tedious and time consuming, but also fun and enjoyable. Especially when it works!
