My self portrait is done, all the flowers are collage, and I added a bunch more today. its not exactly how I thought it would be but I really didnt have a set plan when I started this.

your new works look great, particularly the abstract.

Camela,

Thanks for your nice comments and getting me oriented to Appleton Farms. It sounds perfect. I'm familier with Ipswhich having been stationed a long time ago at Otis Air Force Base. They let us out the gate every now and then. My wife Barb and I try to go back to Falmouth where we used to live just to see how it is looking now.

I noticed some comments about turtles but I haven't seen them yet. They sound terrific. Love the color in your art. Not bad for someone who is 109!

Carmela,  Thank you for your kind words, we never get more than we need. Very happy you like the warm and cool reds together.   I am seeing your wonderful  turtles for the first time.  The one swimming looks like he/she is really in the water.   You must be a fast learner.  I think you have a special talent. Keep it up.     Joan

Thanks for the kind words!  Many comment on the fact my colors are very bold and brilliant.  I also use interference adn irridecent paint to change the look in various lighting throughout the day.  I LOVE finger painting it is so natural!  

Your work is wonderful, I love the sea life!

Hi, This is soft and lovely.  Did you lay down the washes and then
decide there were flowers in there, or did you start with the idea of
flowers?  You've inspired me to get back to the unfinished painting
I've been staring at all week.  Thanks, Carmela

 Laid down the washes with flowers in mind, thrilled to be an inspiration to you!!
