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!

Claudia, I love all of these new [paintings -- all of them. They are wonderful! Is there such a style as Expressionist, because if not, I think that be one descriptive... Another might be: BLAMMist.
Yet another: Squirtist
Hee....
