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.
CONCH SHELL 8 x 10
Many years ago I purchased this conch shell along a beach in California, and enjoyed holding it in my hand, feeling its gnarled and pointy surfaces, and the weight of the shell. Its oddity in nature belies its beauty and speaks of the great variety we find in the created world. Painting it in oil was a challenge; I spent more time on the background than on the shell itself.
