Sometimes when I paint, when I get in the zone (as my honey calls it) I feel that what is being created is thur me, through my brush onto the paper. I first realized this when I painted 'Sugar, in the Apple Orchard'. I could see this wonderful friend, a white pony, come to me in my minds eye and when I put my attention to the watercolor paper and picked up my brushes, he painted himself surrounded by all the lovely spring green apple trees down in the bottom orchard, all covered in pink blooms.
And that's why I paint.
'Color and Light are Magic set to paper' is how I describe my watercolors.
I've always seen. In my head are visions that cast a spell in my minds eye. Photography gives me a way to bring that into the light, so to speak, so others can enjoy as well. The magic of sunlight and shadow mesmerize me. I can get lost sometimes just in those periods of time held in suspension as I'm looking thru the viewfinder to see if my camera can see it too. And I love it when it does. It's like opening the perfect surprise. I already have a sense of what's there, but to see it brought to fruition in the form of an incredible fine art giclee leaves me wordless. A joyous completion. That is what photography is to me. When gorgeous, glorious light creates shadows of depth and intimacy, I want to capture that.
I hope you enjoy my art and can find the beauty I see.
