There will be a dozen of my new small 2014 flower paintings soon at the DVAC gift gallery. But this year, I’m bringing something new to the table – Salad! I wanted to study greens closely so I could be better prepared in landscape painting. The fact that this still life project is leafy and  very temporary is also an added bonus. 

Here is a day by day progression of a small painting. Day 1

Some of my art friends thought I ought to try making those small flower paintings much larger. So, I blew one up!

Here is my entry for the Ohio State Fair in Columbus July25 – Aug 4.
 The painting,Twisting Truth has about as many kinds of twists as I could manage. I liked bringing in multicultural elements to accentuate this universal dilemma that tells this ancient story.
