I am back after a quick mini-vacation to Florida, "old Florida" was the section we were in - Citrus County - yes, lots of fresh fruit. Had a wonderful time and wasn't sure how my 'break' would effect my work as it usually does subconsciously. After looking at the new pieces I've been working on since I returned, I see brighter colors and lots of oranges/yellows either embedded in layers or surfacing to the top. Here are a few images of the newest works.
