The fearlessness of fireflies has always fascinated me. It doesn't matter if they're in flight, flickering in the grass, or frustrated by the glass jar, they send out their signals of life.

Who knows what the best harvest of 2008 might be? Any guesses?

Candles

2008 12 X 9 acrylic

Orange, book and candles-- a study completed at the end of January, just before I decided to spend a week visiting the local hospispa. The paintings completed after I returned home will be put up in March. The dark tones of this piece provided omnious hints to what happened next.

Battle Field

2008 12 X 9 acrylic

Former working conditions come to mind with this one. Time bombs are going off in all directions. Retirement means I no longer have to sneak out of a bunker.
