Sometimes I play with paint.  I love to explore what might happen if....  It's also fun to make a line, then figure out what other line will make that line look it's best.  Add a shape and then figure out what shape needs to be added next.  Where should it be?   What color should  it be?  How much depth can I get in this painting?  How many layers?  How can I make the gem glow like it's alive....  On and on....I'm playing with the paint and seeing what will happen.  I really like these, the colors are rich and vibrant.  The forms make me curious.  Is this a garden scene?  Is it an ocean scene?  Maybe it's outer space or a world that hasn't been yet discovered.  (Having trouble uploading my image)

My latest painting.  I started out thinking I'd paint my horse, Class.  She's a bay thoroughbred.  This horse doesn't look anything like her but I liked the painting anyway.  It kind of took on a theme of it's own!Tried to do three paintings yesterday and today, none of them are looking right so maybe I'll go out and clean off the deck instead.  The cottonwood trees blew cotton everywhere.  Need to paint some more trim on the house too, it isn't like I don't have a lot of other things to do...
