At one time it was my goal to make things as "real" looking as I could. I still occasionally enjoy this challenge. But more and more I am moving farther away from that, and am challenging myself in new ways. Like using more expressive color and creating a believable image in less strokes. To me this kind of work is more about creating essence and spirit through color and line. Ooops, there I go. Get me talking about art and I expound on it. :) Again, thanks for taking a moment to comment. Feel free to ask questions or offer comments.

I really like the oil pastel 'Bright Eyes' it has plenty of spirit and character. Very much an Impressionist cat to me (Van Gough)...I like that. Today it seems that realism is so highly prized...I often feel it then loses it's spirit and energy. Thanks for sharing this...quite a gem. :) ~ Anni What a great creative site…heaps of talent too.

I sometimes think alot of energy and character is lost when people try to be too realistic. There seems heaps of realism in art these days, I like the imagination taking over. You have created a great art resource here, you have plenty of talent. Thanks for sharing. ~ Anni I really like this pastel Bright Eyes work…it has an Impressionist (Van Gough) feel to it.
