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.

FENCELINE  8X10

Breaking away from shadowy backgrounds, it's refreshing to paint an open field with clear sky in background. Open meadows and verdant pasturelands remind me of places in California and Washington. The tree gave me trouble and I tried to make it non-uniform and then overdid it with a wayward branch that refused to be covered up. Oh well, live and learn as we explore our world of color with brush strokes.
