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.

"RURAL ROUTE"   16 x 20   Acrylic




Anyone who has grown up on a farm remembers the excitement of running to the mailbox to see what the postal carrier brought. This painting reflects the days-gone-by of an old mailbox, some sagging fence-posts, and the typical red barn of the mid-West. I painted this on a slick surface and by the time it was completed, discovered that anything touching the finished painting would easily scratch off the acrylic. Ho-hum. We live and learn.
