In Vino Veritas I

   My Dynamite Sister Rose --- 1925-2013

      

           The play of light and direction was fun to work with , Maintaining the tranquil aspect of the scene was  not easy but a good challenge , I wish I could have done better with that .

Eggs and Glass

 

 I loved the Beleek look and transparencies of the eggs . It was not an easy one ,but I had a good time with it and learned a lot .

 It has almost every Blue on my palette in it , also a first.

Magic Horse

 This Little Horse was irresistable to me , if only for keeping the Shine of the Pure White paper in Tact and without a touch of paint  . Quite a challenge.
  Lots of layers and masking as you might guess .

Fall Bouquet and Statuary

Andalusian

 This may be the second Horse I ever have done . She reminded me of  a Beautiful Shy Girl, Her hand -made leathers a challenge .Her mane and eyelashes were too much to resist .

Three Boats -Stamford

 This is  from the " Boat Period ". I was Gung Ho for just Boats , any kind , any where .
 I searched them out wherever I went , all around our neighboring towns , Seattle , Greece , British Columbia , Alaska , etc, my camera  was always  ready , back home I really worked at them , for several years .Then ,I lost interest in them , can't remember why !
    
                            

I love these Daisies , They are so Colorful and Defined !!
Not to say they are easy to capture,but these were fun to do, despite searching for just the right colors .

Symbols Of A Lost World

            
        This painting came together using all the symbols I could muster and the Colors that were unique to it  . Done with just washes to begein with, I pulled forward with templates and back with direct Brush  paitnting .
   Once I thought I would get to doing Rome and Greece, making aseries  but I never got to them like so many projects I promised myself to do .
