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.

"SPRING RUN-OFF"   14 x 18   Acrylic


Many of us are attracted to waterfalls and the painting above is no exception. The splash of water and the cooling, moist breeze is refreshing, especially when we come upon this setting during a long hike. Water is a challenge to paint because of its changing qualities—reflective, splashing, rivulets, or vaporous essence. This was not an easy painting for me and I still see areas I might just touch up.
