007 “Lemonade Raku” 6 x 6 inches, acrylic on MDF
My kids’ mom became happily involved in making pottery — raku in particular — and left hundreds of small and attractive pieces of pottery which were freely distributed to friends at her memorial service in January, 2012. In addition to the smaller pieces, she also built drums in ceramic which she played with her Drum Circle.

006 “Kitty on Thonet Chair” Acrylic on MDF, 7 x 5 inches
Actually, it IS pronounced with a hard “t” —”thon-et” (like sonnet) although most people say “thoh-nay.” Mr. Thonet was German-Austrian, not French. This is chair model #18 (my favorite) for the collectors amongst you.

005 “White Tulips” 7 x 5 inches, acrylic on MDF
This is the second painting of this handful of flowers. I got them at half price, so doing only one painting of them seemed like it would negate my savings. Somehow.

“But I have always thought that these tulips must have had names.” –Neil Gaiman, “Coraline”Tulips are the first flowers I ever painted as the main subject. That was years ago, the first springtime in our new home after I returned from the war.

003 “Pink Flowers,” 6 x 6 inches, acrylic on MDF
After nearly a decade of not painting due to a tremor, I finally decided to go ahead and paint in spite of the tremor. It’s difficult at times, but I’m learning new ways of painting.
For this early attempt, I bought two flat brushes (already had one small one), picked up a few new colors and did this piece to try out the brushes. It’s out of my head, no subject to reference, but then, my goal was to work with the brushes and try some color mixing from a limited palette. 6″ x 6″ acrylic.
