Some of the painters who have influenced me:
Mondriaan, Hopper

Since this is my second blog page, it generally takes me longer (sometimes very long) to reply to your comments, but I do read and love them!

THE PAINTING THAT STARTED IT ALL

Genesis 24 x 30, Oil, St Germain


My first abstract painting
actually was meant to be a background
for a collage of leaves,
but everyone told me,
"It's not a background, it's a painting!"
Even my dear hubby, who does not 
comprehend abstract, saw all kinds of things in it!
So, I called it Genesis, for this one proved to be
the beginning of a whole new way for me
of working in oil.

A MEMORY OF POLAND

© A Memory of Poland, 24 x 30, Oil, St. Germain

Notes
-In Poland we drove by endless oceans
of yellow sunflowers
it was like being in a dream
- fairly easy to paint 
after accounting for all the petals! 
-wonder how an abstract 
with sunflowers would look like...
