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.

PEN and INK HORSEHEAD

There's no color in this sketch I did many years ago, but it was fun to capture the texture and shadings of the horse. You can see the Arabian influence in the features. Using pen and ink is greatly different from brushstrokes with paint and color. Such a world to explore with art that a lifetime cannot begin to touch on all the possibilities of artistic expression.
