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.

"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.
