Lettuce and Onions
A painting that I had considered flawed and put aside, but ended up finding later and revising. Now Im happy with it. It reminds me of home, Pennsylvania. In the spring the first things we could eat from our huge garden were lettuce and onions.

Line, design, and composition matter to me. I use layers of glazes to alter or brighten hues. The more I paint, the more I realize the importance of values and the appearance of light. I simplify, idealize ordinary subjects to reduce them to more graphic or whimsical images. And color, (the fun part!) I still don’t understand, maybe I never will. But paintings have minds of their own. They say “put yellow here, blue there…” And I do.
