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.

"THE HILLS BECKON"    11x14   Acrylic
This painting was fun to do mainly because there is some whimsy in the perspective and relationship of size in some of the features in the scene. Do you notice the small buildings in the middle ground? I like the color splash and contrast of tones and some of the geometric shapes overall. The effort to paint "loose" is still a challenge, and each painting allows for more experimentation.
