Dominique's kitchen

An acrylic painting of my oldest friend’s kitchen.

This is a tree in a meadow created by melting crayons in the oven in a shallow baking dish. The crayons came from my few days working as a hostess in a restaurant. One of my duties was to go through the crayons and discard all the small broken bits. I couldn’t bare to throw them all away, so I saved them and they became my art.

This is an acrylic painting using Gary Snyder’s words – “stay together/learn the flowers/go light”

This is an acrylic painting of the creation of a star.
