New work! “Approach With Caution,” featuring marvelous spiky plants at @peckhamsgreenhouse. Thank you Rick, Laura, Carley and the crew! With this one, I didn’t make the best compositional decisions up front and paid for it redoing and redoing again, including sanding down some of the surface and repainting. Acrylic paint marker and ink wash on 12” x 12” panel.

New work! “Awakening, Sean Conway’s Greenhouse.” The greenhouse was so warm and fragrant that I lingered on this one. It was a mini spa retreat. A million thanks, @scon007 ! Acrylic paint marker and ink wash on 12” square panel.
