I have created objects of art with a camera, stained glass, beads, yarn, stones and clay for many years, paint is newest form of outlet. Painting is conducive to relay feelings and expressions (depending on the time of day that one is painting) through choice of colors and movement (of brush/painting knife)...one color or choice of placement of color can enhance and express so much.....I enjoy the flexibility and freedom of painting. Each canvas takes on a life of its own. I let the paint talk for itself.
Most of what I paint is up to the seer to decide what it is to them. Here is an example of what I mean when I say the seer decides. I showed my painting 'Dragon Fire' to my nephew, to him it contained a dog way in the background and a dragon breathing fire mid-section going through and out of the painting -- exit right. He also saw a man surprised by the dragon's destruction who is at the bottom left coming into the painting. Long story short, my nephew, who owns a little terrier for companionship,, was shot in a random robbing this year, he is paralyzed from the waist down and is now confined to a wheelchairfor life. He saw the painting 'Dragon Fire' and associated it to his life situation. I did not see what he saw in the painting. I saw horses running into the sunset.
