Each artist faces the same challenge when portraying a familiar subject - how to show the subject with a fresh perspective.  I love sunflowers.  Each one is different.  How best to show a field of thousands at a local winery?   I used my macro lens to capture one close up with the rest out of focus in the background.

SDED - Three circles, one broken, 2023
Acrylic on canvas over plywood, and shaped canvas, 40 x 24 x 3 in (102 x 61 x 8 cm)
The exercise of comparing circles, redefined by the surfaces they are on, is met by an unspoken guilt directed at the overall choice of green, which, in truth, defines the contrast with the dividing red middle gap.
Reaching the elusive 2.5 dimension is still on, and strips of canvas bridge the upper and lower areas running over a vivid red gap in the middle. The three circles depicted here were born from covering a shaped canvas, a regular flat area, as well as a crumpled canvas later to be flattened, showing the broken circle. All elements enhanced by the inevitable use of optical illusion.

This photo was taken on the Canadian side of Niagra Falls on Christmas Eve. It perfectly captures the ice on the trees, the rainbow's end and ethereal quality of the moment.

Painting

"Girl With Black Hair," Spray Paint, oil paint, mixed media on masonite, 3'x4'
This is a portrait of a woman in unrealistic colors, and dramatic shading, to represent an aura of light around a woman in a dark cosmos.  The cosmos is outside her, and within her hair, to represent psychic aspects and the cosmos outside her and within her.  One eye is dark and one eye is light to represent the dark and light within her.  She has some stenciled flowers on the bottom of her shirt.
