"Valentine's Snow" Painting

I've been painting and drawing all my life. I cannot NOT paint. My mother was a painter. My dad was a poet. It is what I KNOW. They taught me to pay attention to and to study the masters of each art form and to combine the knowledge I gained with what is my own, in my work. (The museum is my sanctuary.) I love that I see. There is magic to be found in Everything! Unpredictable,unnatural,uncooperative,unknown,absurd and magical, sensuous and refreshing whomsoever whatnot right under your nose.... Art's greatest reward is the startling discovery of a constant new sense of things.
