Painting for me is a form of contemplation. It brings me to a peaceful, comfortable place where only line, color, texture and form exist. Interpretation of my thoughts on to a visual plane gives me the freedom to create my own small new world on paper or canvas. Nature holds the subjects that are most rewarding as it is ever changing. No garden is ever the same, as the seasons change and the years roll by. Flowers, like people, are completely individual -- each has its own personal aura and style. A flower can be developed in so many wonderful ways -- from precise botanical rendering to 'loose' floral art and design. Flower painting lends itself to many moods and can be accomplished in any art media.
What joy there is in looking and seeing and painting flowers. I wish you peace!
