Paintings
80's or 90's hard edge detail in acrylics

See? This was a 'flat space' drip - scribble acrylic HORRIBLE painting I painted 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.
Grandma's House
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!
Want butterflies? Plant zinnias!
I blew it directing my camera towards the bright sun and had to have my camera lens repaired in California that took six weeks. After the first frost, the flowers died & the Monarchs flew to Mexico. Then I got my camera back. Too late to photo 100's of happy Monarchs. I learned my lesson.
