Slhe resided in the main gallery of my home and has since moved away,

to the home of a serious collector. Once upon a time, she had throne, white

hair and her dress was white. Small changes became huge ones, then the black hair

required outlining all the plant life in black.  She took hours to paint, is 30 x 30.

I found the square canvas to be a challenge, I have stuck to vertical rectangles

most of the time.  The windows in my home used to be paned (falsely) and I 

think that is where my orientation for painting came from.  I've taken out

the "ribs" of the windows ... better to see my wonderful view everyday.  Below is the

view from my bedroom ... taken last year of the frozen fiver.   I love the actual

color in the photo, and the texture in the ice as it froze.  

Visual Dreams

I have been away for too long.  I had a difficult time today even finding my blog.  Google had me so confused, it was ridiculous.  This is one of my latest doodles.  The more I look at it, the more images reveal themselves to me.  I was looking for my blog because I needed digitals of some of my paintings for an upcoming show's advertising. 

This is a medium sized piece, 24 x 30.  The only camera I currently have is the one that's on my phone.  I used to have photo editing software (Gimp) but I deleted the program as the last machine I downloaded it to, it came with viruses galore.  I had to reset the computer to factory specifications.  That was a chore I didn't need. 

I rather like this piece, though at times it scares me.  These images came from the paint on the canvas, and my choices of moving it around.  I've considered working it some more but decided to move on to other paintings.  I enjoy this process of letting the images evolve ... and then sit and wonder what made me choose to illuminate and develop the representational images I did.  Analyze self?  I doubt this post will have any attention, my followers are probably not looking for me any longer.  I've recently found the need to share my work, and will continue to do so.  This is only the beginning of new posts, so stay tuned. 

I will be showing my recent work in Portland, Maine during the month of April at the Roux Cyr Gallery of International Art, 48 Free Street, Portland, Maine.  If you're close enough, please stop by at the opening on the first Friday of April, from 5 to 8 pm.  Susan Roux and Paul Cyr have created an amazing gallery ... well worth the stop by or special trip.
