Cactaceae

One of my favorites, bought the pink color on a whim and it turned out to be the exact color and transparency

You can find my painting Cactaceae in the new book "Flowers in Art: Contemporary International Artists" by Cindy Ann Coldiron! It is a beautiful book showcasing all types of flower art from over fifty international artists. The book is available from amazon.com and many other retailers.

Off to a New Home

Persephone is finally, after 3 years, finished, framed, and out of my house! This painting involved a lot of failures and almost got thrown off the balcony more than once, but she was worth it in the end. Some parts were so good (the drapery mostly) that I couldn't abandon it, but the painting did spend a year in the corner until I figured out how to fix it.

Persephone, 16x20inches, oil on canvas, completed.

This isn't a piece I would ever want to sell, so I gave her to a good friend of mine. I hope he loves her as much as I hate her.
