"Red Hot Ruffled Tulip"

8" x 10"  watercolor matted and framed  $125.00

One Easter tulip so beautiful and crisp and satin.  I viewed this from the top and was smitten.  Have you ever been smitten?  Did I drool?  Yes.  Did I swoon?  Yes.  Was I fickle?  Yes.  As the blossom faded and fell, I became less enamored in it, yet each petal still had something velvet about it.  I cut the stem back several times in order to allow the stem to drink.  I thoroughly enjoyed it until the end.

At days end:

“People are like grass;
    their beauty is like a flower in the field.
The grass withers and the flower fades.
²⁵     But the word of the Lord remains forever.”^[f]

"Shrimp Shape"

4.75" x 4"  collage and acrylic  SOLD

A small colorful contemporary abstract.  My monitor shows it slightly brighter than the painting actually is.  The colors are truly lively and brilliant jewel tones.  It will liven any corner when matted and framed.  I don't create many of these, but I sure have a ball putting them together.
