Purple Sunset

I was going to play with some colors last week and just toss the end result away, but then it turned out okay so I added some little flying things so it seems like I planned it…not sure what they are. It is not any standard frame size at 8.5×5.5″ but it could still go in a 7×5″ frame and just lose some of the bottom and sides. But, I’m building up enough of a stack of these things, chances are most of them will just sit between the pages of my giant plant book indefinitely.

The colors in the photo are a bit off. I think it looks better in real life. The yellow is less electric looking and they fade together a bit more gracefully.

Spider at the Beach

I was at the ocean last week under an umbrella and there was a spider on it. That spider was not as big as this one, but it gave me the idea.
