Today I painted three children. They were so good, but the last, being only two, was done before I was. I think I would like to work a little more on him. They are Irakli (Hercules), Elia and Eleni. Very beautiful.
Hi Nancy: I saw some of your paintings at Butler this morning and took your card. Yellow Creek and the Youngstown corners were memorable.. Very well done. They made me wish I had a little extra cash.
Very nice paintings! Just found your blog and pleased that I did. Your portraits here are so colorful - brings out the personalities of children. Well done!
Thank you for that friendly visit Linda. I do get carried away with the color, more expressive than scientific, although I try to paint what I see. I visited your gallery and love your persimmons with the white cup and also the hats. Your compositions are excellent.
When painting en plein air I’m drawn into a deeper sense of the beauty of the landscape. Capturing in paint some essence of God’s handiwork is an intriguing thrill. Shapes and colors change constantly via the elements, like a kaleidoscope turning as it is held up to the light. Sunlight and shadow, the movement of a breeze, makes painting en plein air so much more stimulating than painting from a photo.
I work to capture that flash of wonder the light reveals to me. Spontaneity contributes to the energy that comes through in my painting. My painting is a celebration of light and color. Light is a metaphor of Christ the creator. Light reveals color, exposing immediate substance. It reveals depth and detail. Light communicates relationships, revealing nuances that continuously change, yet have a timeless source. My Paintings are for sale in the sales gallery of Butler Institute of American Art & The Hoyt Art Center Gift Shop & on Etsy as "Pleinairimpressions". It is my privilege to be a participant in various juried artist shows, Denver Plein Air in Colorado, Ohio Plein Air Society, Butler Museum of American Art, & The Hoyt in New Castle, PA.

Thanks Vic. You are so encouraging. It is thrilling to try to capture a look of child or adult with God's fingerprint on them. nancy
