When living in my Taos mountain home “Agua Viva Ranch” I always loved to watch the Aspen trees across from the stream in my yard. The leaves dance and look like pure gold when the fall winds rustle them. The blue of the
mountains and the blue of the stream below created an array of dazzling color contrasts together. Seeing these striking colors together inspired my surreal fantasy rendered in a hard edge style.

This bright little painting was inspired by a field of wildflowers on the side of a hill. I wanted to capture the vivid bright colors and the feeling of the tangled mass of flowers that was there. I chose to use a hard edge semi-abstract style because I felt that I could show the vivid colors better this way. The painting is so bright that it
reminds me of a “Fiesta”.

When visiting my mother in New Mexico I was captivated with the way her garden looked against the blue sky. Hollyhocks grow incredibly tall and beautiful in New Mexico. I tried to capture the vibrant colors against the sunny sky as they swayed back and forth in the summer breeze. The centers of the flowers have incredibly gorgeous designs in them. The lines and shadows made very interesting patterns which I have painted inside them.

This painting was painted when I lived in Mt. Eliza, Victoria, in Australia. I taught high school art in Australia at Pakenham High School and also Seaford Carrum High School.

During the eight years that I lived in Australia I was mesmerized with the lush green hills that were near the sea where I lived. The trees in the top of the painting are stylized to resemble the beautiful wrought iron work that is on the balconies in the city of Melborne. Melborne resembles New Orleans in this aspect. The ferns at the bottom
are a stylized version of the giant tree ferns that grow there.

The strawberrys were added from a wonderful day that I spent picking them in the mountains near Flinders. The strawberry jam that I made from them was as delicious as the beautiful strawberrys that it came from.
