Artist Statement
Using my practice of quick poses in life drawing, I opportune to experiment with colors and differing line textures to recreate quickly the effects of light on the spiritual essence of the human form. My intention is to pull the viewer into following line, breathing with it's form, knowing it's actual beauty.

This photo takes my breath away. I've always been a sunset fan and the darks and lights are stunning! This is worthy of enlarging, framing and showing to the world!
You have such multiple talents. Glad to see you tapping into them all!
P.S. Wish I was there watching the sky that day with you. Gives me peace within myself.
What a beautiful and peaceful sunset. Glad you took the time to enjoy.
Peeeaaaaceful......
Your beautiful sunset reminds me of my afterschool art classes in 6th grade. Mrs. Neilson always encouraged us to do the sunsets in pastels. The windows faced just the right way.
