 Step into the warmth of my latest collection with "Allegro with Reds," a vibrant watercolor piece that captures the essence of nature's beauty. This artwork features a striking purple vase, overflowing with a loose bouquet of flowers in rich purples and deep reds. The colors dance together, creating a symphony of hues that evoke the lush landscapes of Northern California.

As I painted this piece, I was reminded of the wildflower blooms that grace our coastal hillsides, and the gentle wildness of these displays. The interplay of colors and forms invites you to pause and appreciate the fleeting moments of beauty that nature offers.

Art transforms a space into a room, a safe haven, and a special place. Imagine this lively piece adorning your home, bringing a touch of the outdoors inside. It’s not just a decoration; it’s a conversation starter, a reminder of the vibrant life that surrounds us.

I genuinely appreciate all of my followers, collectors, and supporters here. Your encouragement fuels my passion for creating art that resonates with the heart.

Let’s talk about how "Allegro with Reds" can brighten your space! I’d love to hear your thoughts on this piece and how it speaks to you.

Consider adding this artwork to your collection and supporting independent artists who pour their hearts into every creation.

P.S. I love this piece so much, I ordered it as a Liberty jigsaw puzzle so I can enjoy hours of rediscovering it.

Whoa, where have I been? Ah, going thru changes, struggling with life, trying to figure out how to navigate this insane world.  My work is shifting a bit, becoming lighter, more playful. I am not going to promise consistancy, but I will attempt to post more often. 

Meanwhile, here is "Bananas"  I was in the mood for yellow...


 

In a world where whimsy dances with the ordinary, we find ourselves enchanted by a delightful tableau of playful ducks, a handful of #2 pencils, and vibrant bananas. This artwork invites us into a realm where the mundane transforms into the extraordinary, a place where imagination reigns supreme.

At first glance, the cheerful yellow ducks seem to swim right off the page, their playful expressions capturing the essence of joy. They glide effortlessly alongside their banana companions, creating a delightful juxtaposition that tickles the senses. The bananas, with their bright hues and curvaceous forms, evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia, reminiscent of sunny days spent in laughter and play. The pencils watch from behind.

The background, a rich tapestry of dark tones, serves as a canvas that amplifies the vibrancy of the foreground. It’s as if the artist has conjured a mysterious landscape, inviting viewers to ponder the stories that lie beneath the surface. What adventures await these ducks? Are they embarking on a quest for the perfect pond, or perhaps seeking the ultimate banana split? What are the pencils plotting?

This artwork is not merely a feast for the eyes; it’s a playful invitation to embrace the whimsical side of life. It encourages us to find joy in the unexpected, to see the world through a lens of creativity and wonder. The artist’s unique voice resonates through each brushstroke, blending friendliness with a hint of mystery and a dash of wit that leaves us smiling.

As we immerse ourselves in this colorful creation, let us remember the importance of playfulness in our own lives. Just as the ducks and bananas coexist in harmony, so too can we find joy in the simple pleasures that surround us. So, take a moment to pause, reflect, and perhaps even let your imagination take flight. After all, life is too short not to embrace a little joy!
