"Fruit and Floral"

"Floral and Fruit"
4o x 30" x 2"#painting on gallery board
#Palette knife painting
#Natures beauties. The #inspiration was the #organic chaos in the #movement of the stems, petals and #color.......while underneath are quiet simplified round forms planted on the ground.
While at times I can and want to be that wild chaos....it is sometimes nice to just be a simple #form taking a little pause on life;)

Valley Vines-painting

"Valley Vines" #palette knife #painting.  On gallery board 30 x40" original #acrylic.
#Living in the Valley....
As an #artist you can't help recognize the organized #beauty of #grape #vines. They are perfectly aligned row after row!
Their #canvas is the soothing & undulating #hills.....the polar opposite! They are #organic..one rolls into the next.
Painting from this #inspiration is a way to say....I see how beautiful my surroundings are and I am #thankful.

Beauty I believe is in the variety of; color, shape, size and style.

 Flowers are like people...when you bring them together you explore their differences and their similarities; one complements the other. Place one flower in a vase...and you appreciate it it for what you see... put it next to a variety of flowers and....

You see all the little nuances of beauty. The individual character, shape, color and size. Each flower has it's own unique beauty...
