"I do not believe in things. I believe in relationships."
- Georges Braque

If I try to paint an apple, it may only be a symbol of an apple that resides in my mind. When I look, really look at what is present, that is when the journey and excitement of discovery begins.

Painting of the "diamond ring effect" of the eclipse when the sun just begins to emerge.

Paper and painted collage after Georges Braque's Nature morte à la grande cruche, 1955. Braque's work is masterful, and I love his composition and color palette. In my collage, I painted our Egyptian coffee pot which also has style and playful shapes.

Typography, by Cher Pizzi, inspired by Matisse's White Torso and Blue Torso. Left shape is front view of torso, and right is side view of torso. Shapes are flat but atom or planet-like spheres create a sense of dimension and relationship. Type kerned to reflect the forms.

Transcription of Balthus "The Dream," gouache on paper, 5.5" x 7.5". I enjoy the rhythmic patterns of colors and shapes in this composition. I am also intrigued by the theme of dreams or times of transition.
