I enjoy working with a variety of mediums to describe what is familiar and to evoke a response to an abstract idea. Oil and acrylic paints have this buttery texture while watercolor flow with this lovely translucence. An expressive line leads the viewer through the painting telling a story along the way. Each of us have our own unique way of making a line. It is called our signature! Being able to memorize and relate colors is esstential to being an artist. I cannot put all the colors, values and shapes I see into one painting. My goal is to keep learning how to see.
My favorite art quote is attributed to American Realist painter, Edward Hopper, "If I could say it in words I wouldn't need to paint!"
