As I am more dedicated than ever to creating and the process of creating, I find that as I evolve, my art evolves too. It has become more intuitive, looser, more energetic, and more gestural.
 
This painting emerged from a deep need to create. I had a free day—my first in over 60 days—and I felt an irresistible urge to paint. 
 
The idea to paint abstract Venus flytraps sprang from an en plein air painting class I taught in May, where we studied these fascinating plants. I did a few studies that day, and when given this free day to paint, the thought of flytraps immediately came to mind.
 
I decided to go with the same color scheme I used in the "Buried Treasures" ( See Image in Random Summer Collection) encaustic piece but in oil. This painting is a testament to the spontaneous and evolving nature of my creative process.
