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.

"BOKEH FLOWERS"   8 x 10
 
 The word "bokeh" is NOT misspelled for 'bouquet,' rather it signifies the blur in an out-of-focus area of an image in photography. Bokeh is popular with certain photographers, and I experimented with painting the effect by zeroing in on a small area of that blur. Paint is unable to produce the effect that the camera does, with levels of transparency, and the effect leaves me with seeing (without my glasses) a garden full of flowers or through a kaleidoscope. Ha!
