Bluebonnet Season

Bluebonnets Abstract, 36H x 24W acrylics on canvas, wrapped sides painted, narrow frame.
It’s Bluebonnet Season in Texas again! The Bluebonnets Abstract is not typical of my work, but when studying any subject, it’s liberating and enlightening to try painting it from different perspectives and try many styles.

Guanacaste Trees
Monday, February 25th, 2008
Guanacaste Trees, Costa Rican Grasslands, 11H x 14W inches oil pastels on paper. Part of the Paper Places series, all have white double mats and white custom built wood frames with crackle finish, total size 22H x 26W inches.
The unusually wide umbrella-like shape of the trees look cartoonish, but with a few textures I think the issue is resolved now.
Guanacaste trees have such presence! Costa Rica is not well known for its open grasslands, but north-west and central areas of the country flatten out a little, with mountains of rain forests and volcanoes on the horizon. Guanacaste trees look entirely different growing in the rain forest than on the open grasslands.
