BARELY TOUCHING

EVENING'S SWIFT MOVEMENT
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame

The motion was circular as the clouds raced.

Barely touching the mountaintop 
and the tips of the trees. 

Mesmerized, I watched the movement swell then drop.

    I love this painting and the name is great! You can just feel the movement in the sky and the marks are so gestural. There's a wonderful feeling of spontaneity.

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!
