Summer Stream 1 5x7  studio   Felt like I needed to slap some paint on something, you know, when you get an urge to paint after some frustrating attempts. So I started with this little thing just to warm up.

 Summer Stream 2 10x10  studio   The first one felt good so I tried to do it again with the same composition but different format.

 Iris Garden 11x14   studio   There was so much red I thought I would try to balance my color sense with some complimentary colors.
