Today's work includes the newest edition in the Abstract Spring Floral series, and a new composition Prairie and Pond in Late Summer. The Floral painting is the newest in my decorative line of paintings, and the Prairie painting is my effort to capture the essence of the wide open spaces that I enjoy.
