Color is an amazing thing. We relish its vibrancy, its intensity. Our bodies respond to color,
affecting our emotions and sometimes how we perceive the world. The attributes of paint
allow us to explore one color in relation to another. Discoveries we make as we use the
brush to push paint around our canvas provide lessons in harmony, balance, and
relationships. Painting is rewarding and challenging. May the lessons continue
as we explore our world of color.

TIGER CUB

It's fun to make figurative paintings. Here's a young tiger painted quickly during a class setting. Every student had a different version of his pose and expression. There's a striking contrast of stripes against the burnished glow of his fur. I hope to do more of the 'suggestive' portions in the painting, leaving some edges unfinished.
