Spring means yard sales...............and new painting themes.


"Retired"
acrylic,  20 X 20

 These pots were shining in the sun at Grumpy's, a well-known haunt for yard salers and antique hunters who search the streets of Neustadt for treasures.  I can't help thinking of the hours of work those pots have put in over a llifetime.  Perhaps they will live out their years happily growing geraniums that match their red stripes.

A new painting "Come in out of the cold"

"Come in out of the cold"
acrylic, 12 X 24

This interesting arrangement of homes is near the Mill in Chesley, where we meet Sunday mornings for worship.  I added lots of colour for warmth.  I wanted the viewer to feel invited to come right inside on a cold winter morning.
