MY REACTION:  This piece is infinitely more interesting and more richly layered with color when viewed in person.  I could not do it justice in scans and pics.  This is a warm hopeful comforting painting.  With yummy bits of surprising color peaking out all over the place.  And that fabulous little fish.

CONTENT:  I spend far too much of my time and energy entertaining the notion that I am in control.  And battling futilely to make the world behave.  This painting is a reminder that we are much better served by allowing Nature to move us instead of trying to change Her.

ARTISTIC CONCERNS:  I worked on this canvas for a long time.  It has layer after layer of expressive painting and interesting textures.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:  This piece is on a gallery stretched canvas.  The painting continues around the staple-free sides.  It can be easily and affordably framed as it requires no matting or glass.  This one also shows well on the wall as it is, unframed.

  

I let nature move me.
