As an artist member of the Artists2artists Social Network, I posted some of my work in their online gallery.

Their resident curator, Kristen T Woodward* saw my work and wrote about it. She has allowed me to share her review. 

Here is her review of my work:

It was a joy to discover your series of large-scale flower paintings on view this morning.  Subtle Exuberance- Tree Peony held my attention the longest, with it’s delicately curling petals, and contrasts of value.  The lower chroma hues within the areas of shadow- variations of brown and muted violets, are a surprising color scheme in the giant bloom.  The colors beautifully contrast with the complementary yellow center’s delicate stamens, which provides striking textural variation against the smooth petals. The abstraction of the flowers presented in large format grants them an otherworldly quality.  I find the peony works, including Worth the Wait are particularly effective in their restraint of color. Thank you for sharing your work. I look forward to viewing more over time.
