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.
ROOSTER STRUT 11 x 14
Recent vending in town with the sale of several paintings, revealed that folks enjoy farm animals and whimsical subjects. What can be more comical than chickens or roosters? Chicks are easier to paint than their adult counterparts! This guy seems to have something on his mind and he's scurrying to pursue it.
TIGERS 11 x 14
The subjects of this acrylic painting are 'repeats' from an earlier version painted in oil. I was curious to see how the different mediums might vary in presenting a subject. Expressions are changed from the earlier version of oil, but both mediums were fun to work with, perhaps because of the subject matter.
BIRCHES 16 x 20
This forest of birches is yet unfinished, awaiting final suggestions from the individual who commissioned the painting.
