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.

POND MUSINGS   8 x 10


After all the detail of the earlier painting of Main Street, it is a relief to be able to play with color in a more broad expanse in this abstract. Monochromatic themes are a favorite of mine, and this painting is reminiscent of a macro effect on the back pond. Just outside the frame of the scene is a lily pad and a few reeds. Ha!
