Painting has taught me to see the beauty in everything; especially my consuming interest in flowers and nature.  The image starts with an idea, ofttimes the direction changes as I compose the picture on the page.  I hope the viewer will enjoy my paintings as much as I enjoy creating them.    Contact me at purplepat1@cox.net for more information.
