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.

PELICAN SOLITUDE   8 x 10   Acrylic

 This was originally planned to be a study in black-and-white, but I discovered many colors in the bird's plumage and beak and resting site. Pelicans are interesting birds, appearing to be rather ungainly until they take to the skies. It's a good experience to be painting something other than the usual subject.
