Scintillations Closing reception

Latest oil paintings: Amaryllis, Pineapples, Sunflowers.
Color and reflected light excite me. Studying one shape- a pineapple, pear or amaryllis- I search for different colors, textures and reflected light. While painting my first pineapple, I was fascinated by the yellow-orange gold breaking through the cracks in the pineapple like magma under a volcanic crust. I use a limited palette to explore color and a portable system of painting for minimal set up time outside.
