"'RED GINGER" STUDY

'RED GINGER"

No! You are not seeing in triples!"

" These three paintings of the "Red Ginger " were painted at the same time as a learning experience in 1989...They were my first "Keepers".

I drew the same image on 3 papers working from one to the other on whichever one was dry. I would attempt to repeat effects that I liked... change ones that I did not ...and learned to enjoy all of the "happy little accidents" that happened on each of them.

I gave the originals away...to friends ...new and old...who let me stay with them while I re-acquainted myself wth the Mainland . I had spent 20 of the last 22 years in Hawaii.

I still often paint several of one image at the same time...exploring different patterns...colors...seasons...or just experimenting with how to get the effects I am after..."

"This Gardenia bloomed at my front door...My home was in Hawaii then...The steady tradewinds circulated the sweet scent of the blossoms throughout the house...a constant reminder of Paradise...."

The challenge of this painting to me was to capture the softness of the blossoms on this Gardenia and not have them appear as if they were made of "porcelain" . Despite the many expressions from others about how beautiful this painting is... I still do not feel that I totally succeeded. Up until now.. only the artist knew this... I share this with you because ... many of my paintings have taken on a life of their own during the process... and it takes days or weeks before I can see the painting as it is instead of how I expected it to be.

"GONE FISHIN'"

"Late Spring/Beginning of Summer...Still takes half the morning to take the chill

out of the air...The pond is too small for motor boats...It's too early for Summer swimmers...

The quiet ... the warming sun...the songbirds...an occasional duck and a pair of nesting geese...

It's a wonderful day...even if you don't catch a thing...when you've

"Gone Fishin"! "
