Will wonders never cease/the journey

Here they are. The pictures have been found. . Here is the explanation... We were driving to Indianapolis for the time trials at the race track. I was wearing blue blockers and seeing lots of scenes that I would love to paint. However, it is hard to sketch as scene at 70 mph. Then a stroke of genious hit...I have a camera in the car. Voila! I now have a multitude of reference photos of scenes to paint from. The scenes were much more attractive with the sunglasses on, so I decided to paint bright. Also, I live in a cold and often grey environment, so the logical choice was ito paint warm. My first paintings were from a trip back from home (Texas) in November during various stages of wintery weather, all very grey and precipitous.(is that a word?) Any way the following paintings were warm and colorful often with yellow or orange skies giving the inpression of a hot sunny day. Several people come to my studio to just sit and soak up the atmosphere of warmth and cheeriness. It feels good to have people enjoy my art. I hope you do too. When we moved from Texas to Michigan, it was mid-January and people were cursing the snow. That is one reason I chose to paint warm and bright, also I love color. God bless. Betty K.
