Hi Loriann, thanks! Funny you say that about light--I didn't think about it at all while doing it, but now I see what you mean. :) Lynx is TOO cute.
Hi Jane, thank you! Lynx...yep...he is. :) I have never tried to do Open Studios before. I'm a fairly new artist. I decided I wanted to apply, though, but found out I can't even apply 'till 2010! Are you in it, and have you been in it before? I'd love to hear about your experiences.
This is my first one since 2005! Come visit if you get a chance (location info will be on my blog and website soon)! it was really fun when I did it before. We'll see how it is having it at my house....
I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.

Jala this is very touching... and that (what seems to my mind) splash of sunlight is wonderful. r.
I said, "wow!" when I saw this.
I love:
your color sense
the flatness
the cunning use of values
high key green
Love it,makes me want to add a bit more abstraction in my next painting.
Jala has a new yeller. Yummy!
Very beautiful, Jala - I love it!
Beautiful work, Jala - those colors really sing and it's such a strong, confident composition.
