Suburbia

Fruit Nest With Petroglyphs

Meyer lemon, other (unknown) type lemon, and winter orange from my garden, rest in a nest of pruned apple tree branches with North America Native Petroglyphs running across the Robert Ryman-esque sky.  Oil on canvas 12" x 16" painted February 2012.

Red Parrot

Frustration resolved?  After painting over "Two Eggs" with "Balloon Seeking Marble," I was still unhappy with the result so painted over the piece again with this "Red Parrot."  I like it enough to leave it alone now.
