"Agave Splendor". Completed Another Painting in the "Drag Stripes Series"

Agave Splendor utilized primarily natural tones of cream, shades of green, a touch of yellow, and a background of feathered browns. I think the promise for the series to have a “variety of color and to be bold no matter the color scheme” was successful here. It was only a matter of time that I would paint an agave. After all, the model of our home is called “Agave”, and because of that we made sure to include a significant variety of agave plants around the landscape.

Title: Orange Daisy

I enjoy just having a go at something that was newly thought of. "Orange Daisy" is just one of those painting that came to mind while I was out watering around the landscape yesterday (I like to give the wildflowers a bit of water this time of year, as well as anything else that isn't on the drip irrigation system just yet). It was inspired by the variety of daisies popping up all on their own around our desert home. They're a regular occurrence each and every spring and summer, and just a small sampling of the variety of native and not so native wildflowers that provide that little extra touch of color to the landscape.

A New Painting from the Drag Stripes Series

Second in the series, and the largest of my paintings to date. Credit goes to Chris Clarke for his contribution of the title for this piece. He was right on target with his idea to name the piece "Intersection" when I mentioned starting to prepare to work on this piece. He had no idea that I had this particular vision already in mind. The technique for the backgrounds "road asphalt" was achieved by using a small roller. I give this painting the green light. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

First Painting of a New Series: Drag Stripes

Drag Stripes I is the first painting as the “I” indicates in a new series that kept me up nearly all night when the concept first came to me. I couldn’t stop thinking about this new series and where I might take it over time. Look for more of the series in the future to have a variety of color and technique applied but bold no matter the color scheme.
