I haven’t painted in the Still Life collection for some time. Recently, I painted a couple of wine glasses filled with summer’s white wine by the glass. It was a fun painting project! The only thing missing was my own glass of wine.

Standing at the edge

I sailed in.
The sun warmed the nape of my neck
and lit the sea and sky
that blended into a background
of high steep cliffs on three sides
closer to the shore
double strings of fish
strung by their gill
and a flotilla of pleasure boats

connects the Geisha
breath and innocence
of playful innuendos
teasing all seasons
she chants of flowers
bringing beauty to the heart

a quiet path of small boats
linger along the banks

Torii Gate in the Daylight
Torii Gate at Night
I’ve been playing with soft watercolor washes with the goal of capturing simplicity as an image of beauty. After painting a torii gate in the water during daylight, I decided to invert the file and add a moon above the gate and light dancing off the night waters. [...]
