the artist in you

If you are an artist it is not a hobby it is a life pattern, as a mother, your faith, or as an artist. You communicate with the results of your creative thoughts and decisions.

Oil paintings

My paintings take a life of their own. I sketch and communicate with them mono chromatically with ink or pencil. I usually do a color sketch trying to decide on a color theory - limited palette or explosive, then suffer the consequences of paint and how to explore the vast potential of the limitless medium.
