Look Through Any Window...

I have always been a little frightened of acrylics.  

They are STRONG in color and different to handle, compared with watercolors.

With watercolors, I paint fairly photo-realistically.

With acrylics, I decided to let it all hang out.

In LOOK THROUGH ANY WINDOW, I did just that. 

TOUCHDOWN !!

This young fellow is the grandson of my dear friend, Annie Bickley.

Emmet is a fine athlete even at an early age.

He loves to run through the grass, seriously looking for the goal line.

GO EMMET!

Chinese painting with Lian Quan Zhen

I took a painting class with Lian Quan Zhen.  

He was wonderful.  Great artist and super sense of humor.  

I generally cannot STAND painting flowers and focus most of my attention on people and animals.

This work was done with Chinese brushes and colors on rice paper.
