Inspiration for these paintings derive mainly from plant life... while they often contain some elements similar to "scrollwork", they also have aspects of leaves or flowers. Similar to scrollwork, I enjoy painting them mainly (I think) because they are completely drawn from my own inspiration and not from a study of actual vegetation or still life. I will admit, though, that I will observe vining or creeping plantlife and what I see will find its way as reference into my work.

This is a small work; it was an experimentation in creating abstract florals. I loved how this turned out and was so happy that I got a chance to talk with the customers who purchased it as they walked by the Sidewalk Sale in Sept 09! This is one of my favorites.

Part of a series of paintings with an abstract floral theme. You can't tell online but there is copper metallic paint which really sets off the branches. A very warm, nice feel. Sold in Sept 09 at the Kirland Parklane Sidewalk Sale.

This is a semi-abstract

I abstracted the background and created this striking display....
