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.

OWL  EYES   5 x 7   Acrylic

Returning to the animal faces series, this little owl was fun to paint, with expression and textures. The subject is small enough to fit in your hand, but he appears bigger than he really is when he fills the canvas. I'm finding that, for the time being, painting animals is more enjoyable than the landscape scene or still life subject.
