Lady in waiting

Used to be called petunia 'cause that is how this painting started out a few years ago...

Decorated envelope

Am experimenting with decorated envelopes .....these are portraits of opera divas.....

Black queen

This started out a a demonstration in class in May....it's done on wood which is very rough and has been reworked many times....

Profile on Blue

Since I haven't done anything in the last few weeks, I thought I'd show you the last pieces done in Barbados in May...hope this isn't a duplication! this portrait was done on a surface of drywall mud, which is similar in appearance to plaster...

new work...

...done in and around the moving madness...

Feather rebuttal

...taken downtown Guelph...the day we found our new home

Blue Girl 2

Companion piece to the one below...

Third last group i've been working on....

Blue Girl

I have been painting non stop for a few days and will shortly dump my latest work on you for comments...am preparing for a solo show here in March of next year.... but just before I do that...here a painting I have "enlarged", given it more of a frame, to make it part of a larger triptych....
The writing is a transfer from a map of Barbados from the 17th century, the painting is an inset.
