Latest Series


I am a serious serial painter :)

I love the organizing/categorizing/grouping/brainstorming
on
multiples
multiples
multiples

SO interesting to me is the possibility of meaning when dissimilar but similar objects are brought together. 
Peace, love, and we-all-can-work-together sort of thing :)

anyhoo….

sandwiches, appetizers, now the latest

Garnishes!

It all began at lunch with a girlfriend.

"Extra Dirty"
6"x6"
Sold


 We ordered Bloody Mary's which came without ANY garnish at all!
:O

As politely as I could, for I did not want to hurt the bartender's feelings, I asked for garnish.
(I mean who has ever heard of a bloody mary with out ANY garnish!)

So then our waiter brought ONE wedge of lime!
OMG
So then I was like ;-)
LOOK!

"Extra Fancy"
6"x6"


I want more garnish!!!

Pleading my case I proclaimed, 
I know it doesn't really change the taste of the beverage
but it makes it more FUN for heaven's sake!

It makes it SPECIAL!!
(I am prone to exaggeration)

"Extra Island"
6"x6"
Sold


It makes it more BEAUTIFUL!!
(frequently guilty of using excessive amounts of adjectives)

I mean, don't you out there in the internet, find that sometimes it's the little things, 
maybe things thought of as not necessary 
or extra,
 done purely for fun or beauty that make things special?

"Extra Zest"
6"x6"
Sold


 Garnishes
definitely 
make things special! 

Especially in my visually important, 
delightfully colorful, 
spectrally spectacular world!!

"Extra Manhattan"
6"x6"
Sold


Needless to say we received a plateful of garnishes! :D 
true story

All will be in an exhibit here in Atlanta at the end of the month, more info to follow.
