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.

"ROPING THE STRAYS"   11 x 14   Acrylic
 

This horse and rider were active in an arena during competition, but I put them in a setting on the dusty plains as a working combo. Quarter horses are quick to respond and alert to the moment, sometimes seeming to anticipate the next move of a wily steer or calf. The cowboy ain't doing too bad either as he zeroes in on tossing the rope at the precise moment.
