Painting teaches me to have patience in the process…not to rush the becoming.

Painting teaches me to silence my *soliloquy…and let the brush do the talking.
Painting teaches me to embrace the unfinished…both in art and in life!

When I paint, I go into a zone where…

• patience with the imperfect is possible
• a slow move forward creates quiet confidence
• the mind rests while the spirit sores

Painting teaches me to value the beauty of creation, contemplation of the possible, and progress not perfection,
Painting is a gift from the Creator to me…one I will spend a lifetime exploring!
