art, sun, new energy

"As the sun colours flowers, so does art colour life."  Elbert Hubbard  So goes my life...my new interest in painting with acrylics has enlivened my days with new color and energy.  My first work "Red Chair Insouciance" featured a gal "with attitude" relaxing in her red chair.  I just sent that piece off as a birthday present to my pal in New Mexico who covets my red chairs.  My second work is of two metal lawn chairs rocking on a fall lawn of scattered leaves...I really like that one!  It feels good!   That feeling comes through with bold brush strokes and vivid color in the paintings.  Now I'm working on two others more complicated: backgrounds of purple and fuchia squares highlight giant sunflowers.  Another is of a French appearing street which fades away as the buildings lead up a hill.  I love the houses of pinks, purples, oranges and  blues..so like those quaint buildings we saw in Provance when traveling there to Kate's place where she was a summer girl in France.  Delightful sunny homes on the Mediterranan fiilled with sunshine where diners broke into song.  What a memory!
