Something Blue

After all the straight lines of the last painting (Harbor Haven 2), I just had to do some loose and floppy work. Flowers usually fit the bill.

Harbor Haven 2

I do not know why harbor scenes entice me…peace? calm? afloat? boats? This one was a huge challenge with all the background architecture. Below I include an earlier, freer rendition that is Harbor Haven 1.

Oranges

And a little spatter on the bowl.

Zebras

Facial lines can be majestic, don’t you think?

Huyu-lookn-at?

People just love these bright red cardinals, and I have produced some more elegant renditions in the past. Once in a while whimsy strikes, so here is one with attitude.

Light of Truth

I am always striving to meet our contemporary believers with my images of Jesus and Mary.
