This photo of a puddle alongside the road after a winter rainstorm, with its reflections of dry grass and weeds inspired my interpretation (shown at right). I exaggerated the cloud shapes and repeated them in the puddle shape. I stylized the plant forms, and overall kept the grayed, subdued colors in my rainy day photo. |

Can
you spot the dark lizard on the lichen-covered rock in the photo at
the left? He didn't stay still very long, as he was after another
lizard. Their chase inspired my painting, called "Tag, You're
It". I used stylized plant forms in the background and foreground,
and played off this busy pattern with the bands of color in the rocks
and the more curvilinear lizard forms.

A
horrible photo (except for the cat's silhouette) generated the idea
for my painting at right, called "Window View". The cat
looks out onto a color filled desert scene, while more colorful plant
tendrils and wallpaper patterns fill the interior space.
