'ThreeSome" is one of my "vision" paintings.
They Twist, Turn and get Entangled with each other.
They Flow Up and Down
and All Around.
I Love all the Curves these morphing "Jellies" have.
They
 Mesmerize me for hours,
your not sure where one Jelly finishes and the next one starts?
They must be from the Era of
Free Love?
Do you Agree? 

Thank you for viewing.

Been having a little love affair with Palm Trees as of late.  

Love the easy breezy relaxed way they have about them.

Their graceful sway,

The I don't have a care in the world sound.

Just makes you want to sit under one and enjoy a coconut cocktail.

So I decided it might be fun to play with some Palm Trees in the studio.

There's the more traditional palm, 

colors and style.

And

The less traditional with loose free knife strokes

using purple and pink colors.

Descent

Not plunging nor taking it's sweet time, 

just a continuous slow falling down, down, down 

into the Deep Dark Abyss

Descent is part of my "Sun Jelly" series

Radiating like the Sun with the movements and grace of a JellyFish

Though it is your choice whether this Sun Jelly is floating around in Deep Space or in the Depths of the Ocean?

Wish I Were Here

Not quite my usual subject or genre but I loved painting
 it.  I went with a more impressionistic feel with this painting by not  painting as much detail as I normally do which was both refreshing and freeing.  The piece is called "Wish I Were Here" because the ocean calls to me.  There is nothing like the energy of the ocean to wash over you and take all the tension of the world away for a moment in time.  The sounds, smell and feel of the ocean is equal to nothing else on this earth for me.

I Need Help Naming this Rooster

I went to my first painting workshop a few weeks back in CA and one of our exercises was to paint a Rooster.  I had actually never painted a rooster before.  Quite surprising I know.  I found that I really enjoyed painting the rooster, especially with the palette knife.  I could create these wonderful stroke marks and have a nice build up of paint as I added color.  I LOVED painting the Rooster so much that when I returned home I just had to paint another.  So here he is.  I sadly do not have a name for him, suggestions anyone?  

Tumbling Series, the Last Two

Tumbling, like a jellyfish caught in a water current tumbling carelessly and freely head over heels.

Here are the last 2 of my Tumbling Series.  Tumbling 3 & 4, I think number 4 was the most fun and easiest to paint probably due to the fact that this one just flowed freely as I painted it.  Though they were all enjoyable to create.  And yes, I will go on record as saying these paintings when hung together are my favorite paintings at the moment.  That does tend to change over time and as I paint more.  After talking with a good friend, she asked if I was going to sell the 4 paintings individually or keep them as a group.  I've thought about this a lot and know in my heart they need to be kept together as they were created to be together.  So they are being sold at a 4 piece set.  I hope you have enjoyed this series as much as loved painting them.

Tumbling Series, A Closer Look

Tumbling 2 is actually the First of the 4 that I painted.  If you compare the bodies of the 4 this one has more "speckles" as are #3 and #4 then #1.  Number 2's body is slightly larger then the rest.  Again, I am not sure why?  But somewhere deep inside the muse just guides me intuitively and that's the way it comes out on the canvas.  I can never paint something the same way twice which is fine as each "jellyfish" is different and has it's own unique personality.  
Yes, I do refer to them as jellyfish though they started out as a vision in my head and have morphed over time.  I actually see them as residing in both the Ocean and Deep Space.  You are welcome to see them as something else and somewhere else. 

You may ask, why did I name this one number 2?  To me, it just feels like it's follows number 1 and is starting to tumble head over heels from there.  What do you think?
