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.

"PATHWAY EXPLORING"  8x10
 
 
Can anyone resist the curiosity of exploring pathways in a park? My photo on a bright sunny afternoon captured this setting, and I experiment with oil again, rendering the gnarled wooden fence in sienna tones as it led into the forest.

"COOL OF THE EVENING"   16 x 20

 Mountain canyons beckon to the hiker, camper, or photographer. A wayside retreat is captured in oil, a new medium for me and one I anticipate experimenting with occasionally.  Working wet on wet brought surprising results since I'm used to the more quick-drying action of acrylic. More lessons learned as we experiment with color.
