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.

MEMORIES OF LAKE HURON   20x24

This painting was commissioned by a friend who had a couple of old photos of her childhood days at their "cottage." The shoreline and a few trees and a flowerbox and the angled pier were pieced together, with other memorabilia added via memory of earlier days. Try painting a picture as it is described to you via words, and determine how close you might arrive at what their image sees in their mind.
