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.

"GREEN VASE"   8 x 10


Feeling dispirited and ready to pack away the brushes for awhile, I'm glad I chose to try once more to doing a still life. Inspired by Qiang Huang's work, I made a composite which provides a variety of colors and contrasts. It's plain and simple, but it's also amazing what a couple of hours with a paintbrush can do to revive the spirits!
