Two acrylic paintings for you to ponder....








Nasturtiums (24x30), and Hydrangeas (22x28). No frames - wrap-around canvas edges.


Whoops - the tops of the paintings are a bit cut-off, but I am a painter, not a photographer.


The light areas are actually metalic silver paint though they have photographed as white.

(These are currently on loan for one year to the University of Washington Womens' Clinic).
