Cam’s crab shell
Tuesday, February 6th, 2024
Who sees a crab shell on the beach and thinks, “I wanna paint that thing!”? … my 12-year-old grandson. We took him to see the Pacific Ocean for the first time when he visited us during Thanksgiving last year. He also gathered a lot of shells to create a video of smashing. When I go to the beach, my imagination only ventures as far as how pretty it would be as a pastels-on-paper seascape, but true creativity knows no bounds. I love it!

Day Lilies
Saturday, July 10th, 2021
Day Lilies, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. After 5 days of chasing an unsuccessful forest piece, I ripped it up, broke free of the frustration and had some fun with a new subject, colors and a completely different style. Art: no rules! This is my answer to “if you’re not enjoying it, why are you still working on it?”
