'Dandelions' was recently completed for a local collector. She had a very specific look, color scheme, and subject she was looking for. I always enjoy putting pieces together for collectors. This one was especially fun and more so when I saw the space it was displayed.
Subtle colors of sage, green, blue, gray and white with white dandelion buds.

The past few days in Utah have been uncharacteristically warm and sunny which has brought on an early dose of spring fever. I've been known to get pretty severe cases come mid-February but this year, I'm jumping the gun and ready for the heat say... now-ish. Since I can't really control the weather I've decided paint it. This new series explores my love of the beauty in springtime -- that can't get here soon enough.

I wish I could come up with a word to describe palette knife painting. Sometimes I feel like I'm sculpting more than painting. Paintsculpting is really what it is. I love the globs of painting to jump off the canvas and even better for me is when I fight the temptation to run my fingers across the hills of paint. Yummy!
In working hard to up my inventory for a show in San Diego I'm experimenting with colors, florals and texture. Here is the latest.
