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.

FIRE AND ICE   8 x 10


Abstract forms can be elusive, but it was fun to paint this selection, adding thick gel to build texture on the painting. I debated about entitling the painting "Aurora" but decided no aurora borealis was quite this vivid. It's refreshing to paint blocks of color instead of focusing on minute details within a painting. Who knows? Maybe the next painting will be even more monochromatic.
