Joseph's Coat

Joseph's Coat
30 x 22 Acrylic on w/c paper

Joseph's Coat earned an Award of Excellence in the West Virginia Watercolor Society's Aqueous 2016 Exhibit at the Cynthia Bickey Gallery in Beckley, WV,  May, 2016.

Fashion has changed since Joseph wore his colorful coat that his brothers coveted, but human nature remains unchanged.  Even though he was sorely mistreated by his brothers, Joseph found a way to overcome and forgive.  There is still a great deal of evil in the world, but good will always triumph in the end.

Decrescendo

"Decrescendo" (20 x 16 Acrylic) will be on exhibit at the Parkersburg Art Center as part of the Allied Artists of West Virginia Juried Exhibition, opening later this month.

Autumn is my favorite time of year.  This painting is my interpretation of the last glimmer of autumn color found in the sediment on the forest floor.  I chose the title because it represents a quieting in nature as winter approaches.
