I’ve been working on some two-panel pieces—one panel five feet by two and the other five by three, making a five foot square painting. I named them It. Here are numbers two and three. Number one, a red and black paintings, went to Denmark. I would have liked to go with it!
The first painting, the mainly pale green one, came up into my living room for a brief stay. Taking it out of my studio I was able to see it needed more work, was too busy. I calmed it down (too many "stripes") and now I am much happier with it.
The second painting, the blue-purple one, also underwent some renovations after being photographed. Then I was able to see the color was not working, needed to be intensified, and also the red area was at that time not as exciting as it is now.
I'm leaving them as they are and hope they find new homes soon. My studio is crowded and I need to start some new work.

Did you go to any of the Jazz and Blues concerts or is that coming up? I'm missing the Harvest Jazz and Blues in Fredericton this year. Pooey, love it there in the fall. Love Halifax in the fall as well. Especially beautiful where you live!
