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.

"BIRCHES in FOREST #1"   12" x 24"   Acrylic
 
 The birches outside my window invite me to paint them. This painting is taken from a distant location and is the first of several, intended as a diptych, or possibly triptych. I've been working on both paintings simultaneously, but discovered I wasn't advancing very quickly, so focused on this first one.
