Spring Flowers Class

April showers really do bring spring flowers. I'm scheduled to have ankle surgery to tighten the tendons May 25th, but spring blossoms are too beautiful to miss the opportunity to paint.

On March 8th we'll spend the afternoon painting flowers that everyone brings to class.

Artists Statement

I create art from subjects that captivate me. I love sheer brilliant color, beautiful flowers, old shapely trees, sunrises, sunsets, corn fields, forests, countrysides and seascapes. I love to capture a mood or feeling that expresses the atmosphere and soul of a subject leaving out unnecessary details.

I experience a “joie de vivre!” as the French saying goes, an exuberant enjoyment of life as I paint. Excitement and anticipation bubble up inside me as I add water and paint to a fresh piece of white watercolor paper and observe organic shapes emerge while water and pigment mingle. I am captivated by the rhythm of the changing seasons and the sensory input of my surroundings, especially during my travels.

My art is a visual journal of my life. As I mindfully process what speaks to my heart and soul, I try to capture the beauty and wonder in travel journals and in series of larger paintings using a limited palette to create a kaleidoscope of color. As I attempt to re create a portion of the Creator's work of art as seen in nature, I experience the joy of integrating my inner and outer life intuitively through painting.

I agree with the declarations of J.S.Bach and George Frederick Handel when they inscribed on their magnificent compositions: Soli Deo Gloria! To God Alone Glory – the Gift is His!
