Yes, it has been a very long time since I have written - but I have certainly not been inactive. Without delving into specifics, let it simply be said that the past several years have certainly been challenging and never boring! Painting and music are still my mainstays; some things never change.
During those long days of seclusion dictated by the corona virus, I have, as many of us have, sorted through stacks of unfinished and not-quite-discarded papers. Some paintings just miss the mark - some experiments don't turn out as expected or wanted - like these watercolor poppies from 2012.

| Poppy Mania |
It being in my nature to not discard expensive watercolor paper until it is totally destroyed, I unearthed these poppies and proceeded to transform them. Each one of the smaller pieces takes on a life of its own and, after a couple days (yes, so much time) of looking at them, I decided to use the strong colors as a background for printing.

Voilá! Tropical Music |
The musical accompaniment for this trio? - Brahms, of course! https://www.youtube.com/watchv=OB7Lm4FlhEM
This is an old recording, but still one of my favorites.
