| Out of the Shadows |
A special traveling exhibit will be coming to Art Center Manatee Jan 17, 2012. It is the Karen Black Blossoms II national exhibition traveling component. As the name implies, it is comprised of paintings of flowers. An accompanying exhibit is In Full Bloom, a exhibition curated by the watercolor powerhouse painter Susanna Spann. Susanna has invited 8-10 artists to participate in this show and I am hughly flattered to be one. So I have been painting new pieces for the show. Here are the two most recent and the photographs that inspired them.

| Autumn Pond |
In the case of Out of the Shadows, the shapes are what attracted my attention. Obviously the colors were created. The second painting, Autumn Pond, is truer to the photograph, but once again, color is used very differently.
