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.
WINTER DAWN 11 x 14
I applied blue to the color of the snow initially, but then it appeared as water; so several coats of various colors later, the snow still carries the tones of violet originally intended. Nothing looked right until I added the fence in the foreground, and that helped put things into perspective. Another touch of humanity is evident by the barn in the middle-ground. Each painting provides valuable lessons to a beginning painter!
