Cozy Clutter

Most items in the studio were purchased for a nominal fee at surplus outlets or free for the taking. The problem was getting things up to the second floor.

Fantaflora

SOLD to a collector from New Boston, New Hampshire

Original watercolor, approximately 9 x 12 inches. I enjoy relaxing by creating a painting such as this. There is no true direction; it can be hung in any orientation. These initiate with a shape, a run, or a spritz, and the medium initiates my creativity.

Joanne

This proved to be a difficult study. My friend was sketching with a spotlight above her head. Her face was dimly lit, but the paper she was drawing upon reflected back into her glasses & tri-focals. Her glasses also reflected a crescent of light onto her cheek. I need to continue this pose and take more careful observations within the darkness. Something is not quite right, but I cannot pinpoint the majoe crux of the problem. Any suggestions?
