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.

I enjoyed our visit at Laura's Doris. The weather was so beautiful, so nice for all of you and for our drive. Hope you had a successful or at least I'm sure you had a great time together and meeting new people and sharing your work!
Nice photo captures of the art fair! Good fellowship which is what I really enjoyed. Art energy filled the air all weekend. Took some home with me in a bottle to give me a boost.
Still amazed you did three sketches, Doris! You were really in the zone. Fun to finally watch you in the "process" of creating.
