"Melon Row"

This melon wasn't very sweet, and I would hate to throw it away. This was an exercise in speed painting. I had a friend years ago who is no longer with us who used to say "we need to paint with "raw abandon" and that dosen't come in a tube!"

"Summertime"

Hi everybody, pleaes excuse my absence. All I can say is I am glad August is over. Iv'e been busy with some larger paintings and I get so single mindedly focused I can't seem to change gears. School has started, yeah! I have also been working on a newsletter that I got in the mail today. I am working hard on self promotion and that takes extra time.
