Vivid colors in simple shapes, images
of the natural world, and the constantly shifting light and color
are sources of inspiration and challenge for me. I often paint outside
to more directly experience the energy and connection with earth and
light. I rise daily to experience the day's light on the rocks, lake,
unique vegetation, and sky. What a gift to be living among the red
rocks and prismatic earth tones of Triassic and Jurassic geological
formations within the arms of Cerro Pedernal! Watercolor is my medium
because I am fascinated by its variability and processes. Generally
I do a value sketch to identify basic patterns of lights, darks, and
major shapes before painting with color. When I have a design that
I love, I paint several variations. This allows me to explore color,
light, and abstraction more easily. I use lots of complementaries
to make the colors "pop." I constantly am searching for the excitement
and intrigue that initially captured my imagination and roused my
feelings.
