the studio must be disemboweled

A strong word, but I feel strongly about getting this room cleaned out. Once the family wedding is over and all the wedding guests clear out of town, I must clean out this mess! I can't find anything, let alone my peace of mind until I make sense of this stuff.
Between a new year of teaching, putting up a show, wedding preparations, and traveling in August, my studio room became the general deposit for everything that no one could think of a better place to place.
Bonus of studio cleaning, I found this painting that I never finished. I really want to get to the lower half of it, there are two little rabbits that need my attention. I am so interested in this, I might put off the rest of the studio cleaning just to get out the watercolors and finish the painting.

The Force That Through The Green Fuse

...Drives the Flower. 

I love that first line by Dylan Thomas.

Another large painting resulting after lots of painting sessions from the day that I was given so many  fresh  irises at the Waco Iris Show. 

This one is in the private collection of some art lovers here in Wheaton.

Acrylic on canvas 30" by 36"

A whole lot of blue, and pink, and yellow, and green... Oh My!

It is spring! 

So much going on out of doors, every day is bursting with a new color that I haven't seen before.

One of my all time time favorite painting subjects is the iris flower. They are just beginning to show up around my neighborhood.  Here is  a detail from a larger painting. I have lots more to share on this subject.
