Capturing nature's beauty - billowing clouds, colorful mesas, delicate flowers, restless waters or the forest's
 serenity - is an artistic challenge. It helps me see and appreciate my everyday surroundings. 
With art flowers can bloom and landscapes can beckon anytime. The photographs I take
 for painting ideas have turn into another art form for me to explore. A painting or
 a photograph can capture the memories in the artist's emotional response
 to the scene. Trying to portray the heart of the people and the spirit 
of the land is humbling, yet stimulating, for me. Painting has
 enriched my appreciation of the world around me.

Photography captures an exact image; sometimes it serves as an art media in itself. Watercolor 
can be as confining or as spontaneous as I am willing to let it be. It defies my attempts to
 control it and teaches me both patience and persistence. The science of the art 
fascinates me in the characteristics of the pigment, the interactions
 of the colors, or the translation of a 3-D effect to the flat paper. 
I am captivated by the transparency of watercolor and 
its tendency to produce delightful surprises.
