Every artist is compelled to create due to one particular thing.  Sometimes it's line or shape, sometimes the contrast between light and dark.  Perhaps it's patterns or an interest in a certain subject which strums his internal chords.  Maybe she wants to make a political statement or voice an opinion through her art.  Artists approach their art from many points and with varying talents, opinions and techniques.  But they all arrive at a place where they want to share what they have created with someone.

In my case, I find that it is color which makes my heart sing and brings a smile to my face.  Yes, I love all the other stuff - form and composition, light and dark, certain subjects more than others - but in the end, I see colors that no one else seems to see.

Come along with me and view the world of color through my eyes.

This painting was recently selected to be showcased in Lt. Governor Becky Skillman's Hoosier Women Artists exhibit in her office for 2010 through 2011.  As one of only ten pieces selected from over 180 entries, it is quite an honor.  Many thanks, Lt. Governor Skillman!

Anyone who lives in a rural area is familiar with this scene on Saturday mornings. And that is the title of the painting.  Guys working with an economy of motion, almost in a ballet.  Can you pick up the atmosphere of the cold, frosty air?
