Handy Dandy Man Sold to Dorothy Spielman a long time ago.

Going thru old photos of my paintings..  i remember painting an abstract figure on this at least 20 years ago... Didn't make any sense to me..  i kept painting over and over it..  Sweet friend, Dorothy Spielman purchased it.  May she rest in peace, so i kinda wonder what happened to it.  Her apartment was plumb full of her art and art of all her friends..

"Sad Onion, Hanging out with Peas and a Carrot" Gifted

This painting was posted last summer, done at a workshop.  I deleted the huge tomato using thick watercolor pigment. (It was an experiment to see if it was possible to remove stuff with watercolor)  It worked..  Couldn't resist adding the "man in the moon" face..
My wonderful son-in-law commented that he liked this painting "It spoke to me" he said.   It is his now.

Buddy Holly Hock SOLD at Pekin show 6-21

OK, OK,  I admit it, I had the title before the painting..
      I saw and photographed my daughter's next door neighbor's fence and flowers and wah la...   Hollyhocks remind me of my childhood. Mom had planted them around the house at times. Also I remember when going into "Fran's Lounge", they grew along the path into the front door, ( I did use the front door after i turned 21)..
     Photo is kinda dark..  geez..
