OIL ON CANVAS with wrapped edges . . . my favorite.
This painting reminds me of the LUSH and MASSIVE flowers I saw as a 3 & 4 year old in SUNKEN GARDENS, Denver, Colorado. A lasting memory and the way I paint...lushly.

Not wanting to feel melancholy during cold winters, I paint colorful gardens full of flowers to end gloominess. OIL ON CANVAS with wrapped edges. Currently online @ Red Bluff Art Gallery, Red Bluff, California.

I should be lucky enough to have such beautiful flowers in my garden!

A "tropical-feeling" canvas with a large central-image dominant flower. That dark accent flower feels so "retro." OIL ON CANVAS with wrapped edges.

The white 'swoop' to the right sky must be a cloud burst. 'OIL ON CANVAS with wrapped edges.

The upper 'sky' shows enough 'structure' with the sides to hold it together.

an older painting on hardboard (used to be called Masonite) with super thick IMPASTO . . . and left and right edges in black.

Originally, it had 4" canvas squares hanging from the lower edge. Then, I removed them and attached half of them on every other corner, then hand sewed multi-colored thread between jute rope into a triangle and added vintage yellow curtain rings.

OIL ON HARDBOARD . . .

This is a sample of how "hard-edge" my work was years ago before I discovered oil paint and then to palette knives. I have maybe 200 old paintings and most are 48" x 48" on hardboard ("Masonite").

See? This was a 'flat space' drip - scribble acrylic painting I did at 22 years old and hung while I was still married. This old photo shows my Mother's 50th Birthday with my two now deceased brothers, Jim and Al. (A HORRIBLE PAINTING!)

My grandma's little house in Denver, near 44th & Sheridan and Lakeside Amusement Park, was my favorite place to visit. She was only 14 blocks from my family's house that had CLAY SOIL and no flowers. HER neighborhood had lots of old fashioned flowers & GREAT SOIL!

Wouldn't it be nice to spend all the money you'd like for a massive garden?
