Bleeding Heart

The adventure with abstraction continues.

In our yard.

I didn’t like these

I painted over #1, moved in close, switched to pallette knives and turned the black into an under layer. This at least lightened things up.

#3 (in progress)

It reminds me of our Madison neighborhood which embraced the plant in response to the frequent accusation of being “Bleeding Heart Liberals.”

In the meantime our plant has gone dormant. We look forward to next Spring.
