Another Beauty

 

“I must have flowers, always, and always.”

    —Claude Monet 

Beautiful Blooms

 

Hibiscus -- they are stunningly beautiful.  Anytime.  Anyplace.  For the past few weeks in these parts I have been treated to seeing these enormous and gorgeous blooms -- it is like getting a surge of joyful energy that fills me with inspiration and stirs my creative juices.  Indeed, something beautiful.

“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.”
                                                                                        ― Gérard de Nerval

Solo Show to Open

 

This coming Friday, Sept 2, from 6-8 pm, is the opening reception for my solo art show at PLANTED! in downtown Dubuque, IA.  In this collection I've created work that features designs built on a grid as well as others that are free-flowing and organic in their composition.  And, as shown in the image directly below, I also included some of my colorful pieces that incorporate blooms along with a gemstone.  They are stunning, and it is fun to explore the different creations.

What:  Opening Reception

Where:  245 West 1st St  /  Dubuque, IA

When:  Friday, Sept. 2 / 6-8 pm
