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.

"OCEAN VIEW"   16" x 20"   Acrylic
 

 

Beach scenes usually convey the sandy stretch where water meets the shoreline, but this painting shows just before we descend to the shore. I liked the contrast of blues with with greens and chose to make 'blocks' of color to suggest a more abstract approach. Trying a different style is fun and a challenge.

"BIRCH MEDLEY"   12" x 24"   Acrylic
 
Folks have been asking for more paintings of birch trees. This one has a more stylized approach, particularly in the background, but it was fun to do. There seems no end to the varieties of spots on birch trees. They are as individual as fingerprints.
