This spring I spent many wonderful days in the studio making paintings of daffodils. Now that the daffodils are gone, I still have them on the brain. So I decided to play with collage and make my vision of deconstructed daffodils. Acrylic,collage, oil pastel and graphite on panel 12’x12′ $295

In my last post I looked at trees and stumps in the woods along Bailor Road. As I continue my walks this spring, the changes, that happen every year, continue to amaze and delight. Spring was slow in coming, but as always it has burst forth. Today’s images are signs that warmer weather has finally arrived.

My old splattered and smudged paint rags contain a beauty that records years of my studio practice. Now, these cleaning cloths are my teachers—as I stitch, I follow each rag’s texture and design. In honoring the formation of each remnant, I find beauty in what would ordinarily be discarded.
