I
have had a lifelong fascination with color and its ability to
stimulate emotional responses in me. I love the bright, clear
colors in a joyous floral or a fun loving figure painting.
Cool muted delicate colors fill me with peacefulness. Whatever
color, bright, neutral, bold, muted, warm, cool, transparent, opaque
and the varying combinations should wake a response in the viewer
also.
When
I discovered watercolor, there was instant passion; color in all
its infinite change was at my brush tip. It was exciting to
watch as the paint and water mingled together on my paper. With
my brush I gently coax them here or there; but in the end the colors
emerge into a variety of patterns and values that surprise and delight
me. It is like orchestrating new and different symphonies as the
colors and water make music. Enjoy!
