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.

AUTUMN GALA   11 x 14  Acrylic
It's THAT time of year when the leaves change color with the touch of frost. I tried a more relaxed approach to the forms and shapes on this painting, using a bigger brush, but I'm not quite able to get the effect I want. I like the contrasts of deep woods shadows versus the leaves catching the sunshine, laid against the background of the blue mountains. You may see an update on this selection later on.
