Conondroms

 This painting is a collage mixed media. It was my afternoon paintng today. It has paper towels, numbers and circle collages. Does reveal my feelings like life-happy and yet sad.

Color Fun

 I still have to decide exactly what the measurement for this painting are. I first glued rice paper on foam board. Then I painted various layers, a lot, of fluid acrylics. The next day, I painted a thin layer over the surface with white fluid acrylics. Then I worked adjusting color and making more lines.I had a lot of fun with color, That is why the title..

Winter Pleasures

 This small painting is in a 12x12 frame. The image is 6x6. This painting went through a series of changes. It first started with a wash of various colors and then I laid a plastic on the sheet while it was wet. After it driede  I emphasized the lines with white paint to create three dimensions. I retouched areas with fluid acrylics and made some of the circles.

WHEN WE WORE PINK

 I am working on a series reminiscing old times in my youth in Cuba. We wore lots of beautiful dresses made in materials such as organza, polish cotton, satin, etc which tend not to be in used much any more. We would go all dresses up to the park to hear a band that played in a gazebo at the park and where young people met. Such beautiful times long gone now.
