My Blue Period

Smitten with the color Blue...

I have always been drawn to Snap Dragons and Bleeding Hearts.  We used to have a garden full of these and I have many memories of snapping the heads off and pinching them so that they talk....

It seems most of my memories revolve around the garden...whether it be from my father smashing fire flies on his finger nails so that they glow in the dark,  my sister and I pulling green moss from in between red bricks in a patio, or from running scared from an influx of Praymantisis crawling on our blue shingled house...


All of these memories are steering my new work with color...
