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.

"CHICKY"   8 x 10   Acrylic
 

 

Baby chicks are adorable and fun to watch. Peeping as they explore, pecking as they spot a morsel, their focus is on food. Raising chicks is an adventure and I wanted to commemorate a memory of long ago.

"WHITE KITTY"   11 x 14   Acrylic
 

 

A friend had a special cat during her childhood and she consigned me to paint her "Princess." She tells the story of one winter chill touching the ear of the cat with frostbite, thus removing the tip. Her plush fur made her seem regal.

"STROLL in the RAIN"   8 x 10   Acrylic
 
A friend showed me a new technique in painting that I hadn't tried before. Although it seemed strange to be dabbing blobs of color on the canvas instead of strokes with the brush, each layer brought about more depth and flavor to the illustration. This painting was completed in under two hours. I like having soft edges and the contrast of colors. Not much detail to this one, but it makes a statement.
