What does a bannana, summer sky, pretty woman, and an old shed have in common? Nothing! Unless, they all possess vibrant colors and lively brush strokes.
My artistic statement is simple.... to follow a desire to paint with passion and emotion. I paint often "with-in the moment", to ensure a freshness, and an honest response to my mood. I strive to not take myself too seriously, as raising four children has taught me.
If I were to put myself in a category, it would have to be an expressionist.
Eric Liddel, the Olympic runner once said .... "When I run I feel God's pleasure...." I sometimes experience a similar emotion. I hope to improve and for that to happen, I am reminded of another famous personality who said to "never, never, never, never give up!
So until then, or until I run out of paints, I will paint. |
