Flowers symbolize hope, courage and caring
I’ve been asked a lot lately about my favorite things to paint and I felt a bit silly admitting I like to paint flowers. Why? I mean it’s obvious I’m painting them, especially if I’m standing less than five feet away from my own art. I’ve done some reflecting on this and I’m ready to share why I think I enjoy painting them. Spoiler: It’s not just because they are beautiful, whatever that means. Flowers are fascinating Flowers have always fascinated me. They come in so many shapes, sizes and forms. The more elaborate and colorful they are, the more I like them. Some people may see flowers as very feminine, weak, and “girly”. I see them as symbols of courage, hope, and caring (love).

The differences between Modern and Traditional Colors
I enjoy going to talks and watching vlogs by painting manufacturers and distributers like Golden’s and Jerry’s Artarama. Yeah, I’m a color nerd. (more…)
Artist Tools – What I use
I use a lot of different brushes and tools. I love layering different types of media on top of each other. I take a sculptural approach to building up layers and shapes on canvas and paper.
