Morden Fireglow 2010, Acrylic on Masonite 7 x 18 inches What can I say? When my kids ask me what my favorite color is I always answer, "Red." This painting is about having some fun with color, texture and composition. There are several layers of pigment supporting the final image that floats on top of it all. I recently purchased a jazz album my cousin released with his group Small City Trio , and I think the music influenced this piece. The title relates to a rose called the Morden Fireglow, a flower developed in my part of the world and known for its intense variety of reds. So, we have a painting influenced by roses and jazz. A glass of champagne, please! SOLD
