Spotlight on ~ Margaret Bremner

I have never been a painter of local landscapes. While houses and buildings, trees and skies are recurring subjects, they are figments of my imagination, realistic-enough looking, but wonky and whimsical.

Spotlight on ~ Virginia Beaubier

Spotlight On ~ Paige Mortensen

It is all about the texture. It is the texture in an object or scene that entices me.
