Delight

Paris was delightful. Everywhere you turned there was something so wonderful that it took your breath away. This feeling changes you from the inside out. It is as if your heart is singing. You can sense your mind growing as you walk down any street. I want to bring all this wonderfulness home with me and keep it forever. I want everything in my house to reflect life in such a joyous way. If you live in that kind of place, you will be a billion percent better in every way than if you did not. If my painting do that ever, then my life has been successful.

About the Author

I am a Northwest artist who is fascinated by faces and people. I work with a brush drawing of a face or human figure. Then I apply ink, paint and gel in various layers to create rich colors and textures. Along the way my images are painted, scrubbed, rinsed off, then ink and paint are reapplied until the final image is finally revealed. The process of discovering who the figures will become keeps me "intrigued and absorbed."
