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.

"BIRCH  MORN"   12 x 24   Acrylic
Birch trees are striking in their contrast from the surrounding forest. This painting is slightly stylized to emphasize the characteristics of our lovely birches. It was fun to capture a bit of the texture of the bark by slapping on the paint with a palette knife. I hope you enjoy.

"EWE TRIO"   11 x 14   Acrylic

Monochromatic colors are appealing, and this scene benefits from the highlights on the sheep. Humankind has been likened to sheep, in our tendency to follow a leader—any leader, whether with right principles or not. We make a choice on which leader by the fruits.
