SPIRAL THROUGH THE NIGHT


SUNSET SWIRL

4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8"square white archival matte, glass + gold leaf frame


The clouds formed as a whip while swirling through the night.

They snapped through the colorful layers beginning with

subtle blues to the pale greens and pinks.

Downward they spiraled to the blazing yellow and

oranges which halted the swirl above the dark land.

    Another dramatic and lovely piece...what a collection your pieces would make...trouble is, how to choose and when to stop collecting.

    It is so Santa Monica, my city, and I love it.

FRIDAY BREAK

2 + A HOLE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square white archival matte, glass + gold leaf frame PRIVATE COLLECTOR It's been a long week getting everything together for the opening of Frayed , so decided I needed a sweet treat to chill out. Nothing like a frosted donut which is always so yummy! When I was young my Mother used to make homemade donuts, which is indescribable. At that time my sister and 3 brothers fought over the "holes", which were a perfect one-bite affair that always melted in our mouths. Those were the days!
