Sneak Preview #2...and Happy Spring!

"Spring Kimono", 2019, mm on rice paper mounted on panel, 12x12"

Such a lovely day in New Mexico it has been: sunny, warm, with lilacs blooming, irises ready to burst forth, and little rose buds forming. 

In honor of the day and the season I'm posting "Spring Kimono", another painting to be including in my May exhibit, "In a Japanese Garden, Revisited" opening Friday, May 3, at the Weyrich Gallery in Albuquerque.

Happy Spring to all!

Sneak Preview ....Revisiting a Japanese Garden

In just a a couple of weeks, my new exhibit "In a Japanese Garden, Revisited" will open at the Weyrich Gallery in Albuquerque.

Today's image—White Blossoms & Clematis—is the piece I selected for the postcard invitation announcing the opening on Friday, May 3, 5-8:30pm.

Once again, this body of work presents a variety of of kimonos and flowers inspired by Japanese forms and sensibility. 

In many of the paintings the kimono shape mergers with its surroundings of flowers and foliage to express the ideals of beauty and harmony of "Man in Nature". In other pieces, design and traditions from other cultures are melded as a purely abstraction fusion of decorative imagery.

Of course, the ultimate goal is Beauty.
