Seasonal Inspirations

My fall garden, blooming with American Beautyberry, Lantana, Swamp Sunflowers, and other varieties, first inspired this series. As I see which native favorites are blooming at a given time and anticipate others making their seasonal debut, I strive to create paintings that convey the uplifting power that these flowers have on me. Fortunately, every day offers a new and evolving cast of beautiful garden companions to paint and add to this seasonal series. 
This series received a Merit Award from artist/juror Juan Logan of Chapel Hill , NC.  
Mr Logan said he selected the awards on the body of artist'sf work, the artist's passion for the subject, and the consistency in their craftsmanship.
