Living in a house with many walls has forced me to leave my clay and venture into experimenting with canvas. This first canvas is orchids surrounded by the "golden ratio". Living with a physicist has had an influence... At one point I would have called them " beautiful swirls", but now they have a name and a mathematical meaning. This second canvas is a Masai woman standing against the sun. When I was in Kenya a beautiful Masai woman came up to me and touched my ear and then smiled at me. This was a surreal moment for me... I had dreamed of walking through the grasses of Africa since I was little and once my feet stepped onto that deep red soil of the Mara, I felt as if I was dreaming. This Masai woman seemed to have sensed my lucid state and touched me as if to wake me into the reality of Africa. I continually have her image in my mind. Feeling playful with this painting, I took liberty to try some of Jackson Pollock's paint tricks.

I love your house. It is so artfully done. It's fun to see your work on canvas. I hope to have one in my home some day!
You are as good with canvas as you are with clay. Love it!
