A couple of paintings to start off the weekend.


I’ve been glueing the rough paper onto a board. It feels more secure that way.
This is the Hope Springs Eternal before I messed with it.

My daughter decorated. Here are some views. All the macabre items are from our (weird) collections.


The weather is lovely here in Northern New Jersey. Lots of leaves to rake and many acorns: have a great weekend. Nina
It’s all stunning, Nina. Take care. 💜

Alright Nina, my curiosity is up, for all of this. Colors that show no fear. And especially I like that “eruption” of flowers, like from a flower-volcano. You make color seem so natural, side by side. Then (not so much weird) as appropriate for the season now. I like the gathering. Thanks for sharing all this.

I’ve always just loved color and working in gouache it’s easy to mix color variations. The paintings have a lot of layers.
I’m definitely on a roll with this recent work and I thank you for your kind comments. N.

I find the second painting particularly appealing. It think it’s the colors.

I love that floral painting; in color and movement it’s a perfect match for the swirl of bright leaves outside… We’ve had a great crop of acorns too; the oaks are ready for a resurgence! Also your weird collection is excellent—everyone should have one. 🙂
