Visual Art is a beautiful language using the elements and principles of art. As a painter and art instructor for many years, I also enjoy writing, nature, family and friends. The world of art is fun, challenging, exhausting and renewing all at the same time! Please note, I am no longer using paypal. I'm in the process of removing paypal buttons.

Work in progress - abstract
After a week or so of a lot of internet problems - I'm finally able to get online and stay there for awhile (I think). So - I'm posting the beginning of a larger abstract on which I'm working. This is the bare beginning - it is acrylic on paper - and is composed of many many dots. I will keep updating this as it progresses! Its intriguing - and a times - it feels like it may never get finished!

Unfolding ....
Unfolding, 8x8" graphite on clayboard

This is one of the things I've been working on in the last few weeks. There is something so interesting in the way a rose is arranged ... and as it unfolds revealing more and more of itself, it is almost like a metaphor for life! I enjoy working with graphite ~ in its time consuming way. And I especially enjoy working with graphite on clayboard.
