"MANGO, MANGO"

6x6, oil, sold
Love that green spot!  There are so many paintings that I have painted that I say, "I like that spot."  Over the years the spots have grown into bigger areas, but there is still those areas within my paintings that I can say, "that inch is just perfect."  It might just be the color or the brushwork or just those little surprises that come to life on the surface of a painting.  I love the process and love the bits that work because I know so well that even though it is a surprise, it is no accident.  So much is learned from painting to painting.  Especially painting almost daily I see changes in my perception and in my technical abilities that only comes with dedication and persistence.  Every once and a while I get blocked and question myself.  I have found painting is the best answer to blocks in the creative flow.  And those little spots I love from painting to painting keep me excited, reminding me to let go and just paint.

"TWO TO TANGO"

Tango Mangos...yum!  Love the colors in the skin of the mango.  They range from deep reds to yellows and all the wonderful greens in between.
