wonderful part of painting is that you never stop learning and developing your eye.  I’ve come to enjoy and appreciate the process.  Often it is seeing clear value patterns of light and shade that will draw me to any subject.  Then I strive for a strong design and color harmony.  The changing mountain landscape, animals grazing, and flowers blooming are generally my subjects and inspiration.   Painting is a solitary, non-verbal expression that enriches my life and brings me joy.
