Anatomy of a Composition - the benefits of solitaire

The beginning of the school year promises many opportunities while at the same time extruding a real cost in time and mental stamina. Having jumped on this particular rodeo now 28 years in a row, I find it now easier to be organized at the beginning of the year - there seems to be some muscle-memory around managing the stress, but very little when it comes to the execution of re-entry into this chaotic time.

What I’m really saying is that I have been so busy and on many nights have arrived home with just the energy to cover the basics of laundry and lunch for the next day?! That said, I wanted to share this Sunflower Web Gallery as it contains many, many more images than I can fit onto the webpage. So follow the link to view a larger selection of this year's sunflower crop!

If you would like to see some of my work in person, I was able to put up more images at Banded Oak Brewing, in downtown Denver.  Banded Oak is one of Denver’s finest micro-breweries. It has won Gold Medal at the Great American Beer Festival and is most known for their barrel-age technique.  They have renovated the brewing area to accommodate  more seating, and the amble wall space offers great natural light for viewing the different pieces of art. The tap-house is open 7-days a week, and is located at: 470 North Broadway, Denver CO

Follow the Banded Oak Web-Gallery link to view the work that is on display, and even though this image is not hanging at the gallery, I would be happy to create a large, custom print for you.

August, 2021 - As always, thank you for the support and for joining me on this adventure.
