  5. It's so interesting to see the color transformations your painting goes through! It shows how color dynamics can completely change the feeling in a painting. Don't you just love color?

    Fun painting. I always like your unusual point of view. It's as exciting and engaging as your brushstroke.

  6. Hi, Kathryn - I am drawn to subjects and compositions that allow me to show moments and events that might not otherwise be easily observed. My attempt is to take the subject and transcend it by showing the viewer more than is readily seen by human senses - lol - a lofty goal and one I strive for with each piece. Perhaps someday I will get close to achieving this.
    Susan, thank you for your comment about color and your very encouraging words. I do love color and am always fascinated in placing one stroke of color next to the other!
