A Color Blind Artist .....Truly
Painting is Magical |
|
So it is for me to see
Green is Red
Brown is Green
Blue is Purple
Yellow is Green
Being color blind , a genetic defect of the eye, has its drawback when clothes shopping or choosing paint for a wall, but not true when I am painting on canvas or paper. Then it becomes an adventure with every stroke.. It is joyful to enter that private place of the mind where colors are seen differently by each of us.
I was born in Roanoke, Virginia during the steam engine age and have always had an interest in the creative elements. Writing, photography, and painting have afforded me many opportunities to learn and grow. I have taken classes from many instructors and am amazed at the "tricks of the trade" that are shared by these teachers as well as my fellow artists. My work happily resides in many places.
My happiest hours are spent in the studio with a brush in my hand and paint on my shirt.
