"Purple Hibiscus"

I spotted this unusual flower while walking around Greenfield Village a few weeks ago. I don't recall ever seeing a Hibiscus this color before. It was so intense I just knew it was bound for the canvas. I recently bought a bunch of new brushes that I just love. This may sound weird, but they've inspired me to paint in a looser style. I think it works pretty well with this subject and I look forward to using them from now on!

      Here's our cat Lizzie, on the landing catching a bit of afternoon sunshine. 
  • "Pavo"
    This is the resident cat at the Belle Isle Conservatory. He's an excellent mouser,  a friendly soul, and a handsome devil to boot.   
  • "The Rage"
      This is a self-portrait depicting the outrage I feel about the recent presidential election. I've thoroughly given up on this country....
