OK. So ultimately, I just didn't like this piece. So I cut it down to 6 x 6 chunks and put leaves cut from photographic film on top.

Pieces for the Studio Show



This this the Yucca pod drawing, that I listed a couple of weeks ago, finished.
Pastel and metal leaf on paper
22 x 33"
Here too is a new drawing of what I like to call a lantern tree. It isn't actually called that, I think the tree proper name of the tree is Bladder Berry, but lantern tree is more well - romantic.
It is also 22 x 33"
Pastel on paper.

Upcoming Art Show



I've been taking painting classes from Philomene Bennett at her studio with probably twenty-some other folks. As a finale to the session we are putting up a show in the studio. So, anyone who is reading this blog, you have an invitation. The upcoming group show is at Bennett-Merrick Studio
at 1331 Union Ave. in Kansas City, Mo
the west bottoms north of the 12th street bridge

May 28, 5:30-9:00
May 29 5:30 - 9:00
and May 30 noon - 4pm

Here are a couple of picts of the studio with people working and lunching in front of one of Philomene's large paintings.

O.K. it's been awhile since my last post. But here is the product of that absent time.
This is, hopefully, one of a series of four, as I am starting to reintegrate color into my work.

This is my first post in my first blog. My intention is to post a painting a day. But it will take a few days to get up and running or painting. So for now I'll post a few older works.
