It's kind of embarassing when  asked what style I paint in. I sometimes wish I could say, "I'm an Impressionist or an Expressionist. That would be easier (and sound smarter than) "I don't know." But  I'm neither. I don't fit into a category.....never been  fond of labels anyway.

 I'm influenced by such greats as Chagall, Matisse and Klee.  Children's art absolutely delights me and almost anything extraordinarily colorful that passes in front of my eyes captures my imagination.

When so much of my work was hung together in the gallery, it was clear I was painting in sort of three genre....maybe called abstract, whimsical, and thematic. Sometimes a bunch of one kind gets painted one after the other. Or some times I have several going at once and go back and forth.....straight from a spiritual and serious work to a canvas full of "fantastical" life forms.

Oh well. The fear of letting the paint fly is gone. Time to get over being embarassed!

Variations on a theme

It's fun for me to see these three paintings together, which can only happen here! The first one sold almost immediately and went to Georgia. The second  was purchased at my art show in Litchfield. After the show I missed having the whale watching over me from behind the greenery....so I painted the third. I've been listening to suggestions to write a children's story about why the whale keeps showing up. So I'm pondering... Who did invite the whale OR was he there all the time before any of the other critters showed up? Hmmmmmmmm.
