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.

GRASSLANDS    12 x 24    Acrylic
Many of us enjoy "wide open spaces" and when we venture upon a scene that allows the eye to view miles in the distance, it satisfies our longings for space. I debated on whether to add a herd of buffalo or cattle or antelope to the scene, but even if they are not visible at this point, we know they are grazing just over the next hill. The dimensions on this painting add to the horizontal vista.
