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.

ATTITUDE   (paper demo)

The youth's face is a classroom exercise, the subject observed in a magazine. It makes me realize the need for knowing the principles involved in cool shadows and warm skin tones. This subject may be one I try again on a canvas, focusing on various elements and correcting what's viewed here.

JESUS' FACE   9x12

Painting His face was a special experience. The Christian bookstore provided a business card size portrayal of Jesus' face, and it is a favorite to many of us. With inspirational music playing in the background, the painting of skin tones and expression brought me closer to Him. Perhaps His skin tones were really darker and His coloring more dusky. Whatever, the painting was a joy to do.
