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.

"EQUINE PROFILE"   8 x 10   Acrylic
 

This was a fun painting, making a profile close up of a young filly. Horses have expressive eyes, which adds to how they communicate with us via their ears or arch of the neck or flare of the nostrils. I chose a more intimate approach by zeroing in on the eyes. I hope you enjoy it.

"WHISPERING SWEET NOTHINGS"   12 x 16   Acrylic

Cows are interesting creatures. They show preferences and emotions. This was a fun painting to do since they can also display facial expressions that we humans might identify with. I might tinker with the middle ground to lighten the values a bit, and there's a fellow up the road who has requested more "cow paintings" to add to his collection.

"AUTUMN COLORS"   16 X 20   Acrylic


Fall colors can be seen in nature everywhere, even in California. I submit this photo at this time because I am encouraged to see the followers to my website. It is time to paint again for me after a summer of other activities. For upcoming paintings, I hope to incorporate some new techniques and present a variety of themes. Thank you for staying with me.
