Portholes to my Youth acrylic Patterns and textures are all

Patterns and textures are all around us

I have created cyanotypes from the plants around me

It features several plants in my garden that I have magically combined to create a unique plant with full-veined leaves and clusters of two different types of flowers

I've left it up to the viewer to decide if these are macro-views of the cosmos

But when it came back the last time

Portholes to my Youth acrylic Patterns and textures are allMixed media (acrylic, paper, and ink) 20" x 16" on paper This painting captures the autumn of my childhood. Memories of cooler temperatures, changing colors, and shortening days all rush back to me. There's a nostalgia for those foggy beach days with crisp winds and washed up seaweeda pang of sadness for the dropping leaves and impending winter weather. These circles are portholes to my youth and bittersweet remembrances of those long ago autumn days.
