A kiss, Cone Flowers



A Kiss, Cone Flowers:


When objects in art just touch it is called a kiss. These cone flowers just kiss on the cheek in passing.
There are many kinds of kisses in life:
Butterfly, one of my favorites.
Cheek kisses, like your auntie used to give you.
Earlobe ones, those I hate.
Eye kisses, what ever. Finger kisses,oh so romantic.
Foot kisses, now that is a whole different subject.
Forehead kiss, like the kind an old lover gives on his way out.
French kisses, now your 16 and really know your way around kissing.
Fruity kisses, those I learn to give when I was in Montana. It was along time ago but I still remeber those sweet little kisses.
Hand Kisses, oh so European.
Hickey kisses, haven't seen that mush passion in years.
Mistletoe Kiss, oh yes I long for Christmas when lissing anyone is allowed if you have a little mistletoe.Note to self buy Mistletoe.
Letter kisses, only when you are 12 going on 13.

Zinnias and Bumble Bee, flower garden


I had a dream a few nights ago about a painting I had done. It was a floral painting with bees and dragonflies. I tried to paint it last night but I think I missed a few things I now remember in the dream. I will try to work it out in water color then if I think I have the concept I will try it in oils.

Squash Blossoms,landscape painting


Battered Squash Blossoms
(With or Without Stuffing)

The Batter:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fat-free chilled milk, beer or water

Cheese-Mushroom Stuffing:
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
2 tablespoon mushrooms, finely chopped
1 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley, minced
16 large squash blossoms, washed
Canola oil for frying

1. Prepare the batter first. Sift together dry ingredients, then whisk in milk, beer or cold water until smooth. Cover and set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Leftover batter can be stored for up to two days. If it is too thick after refrigeration, add a few drops of water to return to original consistency.

2. Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing. In a bowl combine the ricotta cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, mushrooms and basil. Open the blossoms and spoon about one 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture into the center of each. Avoid overfilling the blossoms. Twist the top of each blossom together to close. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

3. Pour the oil into a skillet to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over high heat until a small cube of bread dropped into the oil turns golden brown within seconds.

4. Briefly dip each stuffed blossom into the batter, then carefully slip into the hot oil. Cook until golden on all sides, about three minutes total cooking time. Add only as many blossoms at a time as will fit comfortably in the skillet. Transfer with a slotted utensil to paper towels to drain briefly.

5. Sprinkle with salt, if desired and serve immediately.

Tulip Mania,large watercolor garden of tulips

All summer I have had my bag of bulbs ready
Tulips of every color
I dream of rows of pink and yellow
Kneeling now as if in prayer
I plant for hours
Snug in the deep warm earth
they will survive the cold winter
slow to awaken
rows of pink and yellow

Autumn Leaves,Aspen Fall Landscape

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower Albert Cadmus

Summer fades it's glory gone
Autumn now red and orange

taking in the palette of the artist

Canned Tomato's

I am the little Red Hen
with a passion I tend my garden
planted the seeds
weeded the vines

Tomato's canned and sealed
tiny bits of sunshine in jars
warm my winter days with jelly bean color
orange,green,and red
brewed,stewed, and pureed too

Not one left behind
not one on the vine
all in mason jars for winter time
Vespers in the dark of the basement

State of Relaxation


State of relaxation was the title I gave to this painting while plien air painting on Little Travers Bay in Michigan. This sail boat was painted in plien air on a day that the rain was off and on all day long.





Me at my box or plien air easel.

En plein air is a French expression which means "in the open air", and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors.
Artists have long painted outdoors, but in the mid-19th century working in natural light became particularly important to the Impressionism. The popularity of painting en plein air increased in the 1870s with the introduction of paints in tubes (resembling modern toothpaste tubes). Previously, each painter made their own paints by grinding and mixing dry pigment powders with linseed oil.
It was during this period that the "Box Easel", typically known as the French Box Easel, was invented. It is uncertain who developed it first, but these highly portable easels, with telescopic legs and built-in paint box and palette, made treks into the forest and up the hillsides less onerous. Still made today, they remain a popular choice even for home use since they fold up to the size of a brief case and thus are easy to store
