LET'S TRY THAT!

My style of painting is loose, "wet", and constantly changing.  I love the feeling of dropping paint onto the wet paper and allowing what happens to take me to the next step in a very dynamic way.  I love paint that moves around and does the unexpected.  When you use watercolor, fluid or soft body acrylics, or inks you have to make fast decisions and be courageous. I am constantly excited to say "Let's try that!" whenever I find a new tool, paper, paint, product, or idea!  It is all about having fun, and watching to see what happens!

​Commissions considered with the understanding that no two paintings are ever exactly alike!  That's the fun of it!

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO...    For the past few months of 2020 painting outside seemed to be the best way to meet with my artist friends and stay safe....so we took up painting En Plein Air!  It's been great.  I decided to really delve into the use of acrylics to try to discover how to use them and still get the excitement of the unexpected.  I also wanted to achieve the free flowing movements of the brush that I am used to with watercolors on paper....while using acrylics on canvas.  It's been an interesting trek.  Check out my En Plein Air achievements in the Gallery. 

I also have been really thinking about how to paint brambles, bushes, and leaves in bunches and clusters and yet still create an interesting painting.  This just might become a life long journey.  Thanks to some wonderful mentors I am beginning to get the hang of it.  Check out where I am along the path in the En Plein Air page of the Gallery.
