The Dam

After years of traditional painting (i.e. my magnolia watercolors) I learned Chinese brush techniques. One loads the brush with multiple colors and in one stroke (held at just the right angle) the artist can create a total dimensional object...leaf, flower petal etc.). One needs to be decisive and work "fast". Hope you enjoy these experiments!!

I paint with acrylics and glazes using the side of a credit card.This allows me to move the paint around and literally to compose an image. I never know where it's going...but I'm learning some control as I go forward with landscapes.

What a beautiful thing to say....that's going to make my day wonderful!!!

My art is truly intuitive. I'm not certain how I arrive at some of these destinations!

Years ago I studied Chinese brush painting and I still practice a form of it. Thanks for this visit, Kerstin.

Many thanks, Sorin. I wonder if this exists some place.....

I saw a lovely movie with Emily Blunt about a dam in a desert. Hard to say where images come from....

Thanks so much. It does seem like we could sit there and dangle our feet over the edge.

Thank you so much, Helen. So many of the people who follow me are photographers. I am so proud that you chose to follow me down the path I'm on. Your work is outstanding and I'm going to enjoy all of it.!!

Thanks so much for all of your visits and for this encouragement. I'm finding my own way and enjoying these results. I'm looking forward to seeing your art!
