Having dinner at the Welfare Café one evening, I mused over a fly carefully investigating the area of white linen table cloth next to the salt and pepper shakers. As I watched, I thought, "What a wonderfully odd still-life composition this would make, amusing some, offending others." The idea for the ‘Fly Series’ was born. Since then, I have had great fun watching for ‘new compositions’ to present themselves.

Carmela’s Kitchen was the result from a trip made to San Miguel de Allende. Every day, we enjoyed visiting with Carmela, the cook at the wonderful house we stayed in. She would probably kill me if she knew I had named this watercolor after her practically fly free kitchen!
