"I opened the door to creativity and found my soul." I found that quote many years ago, and I thought it was just so right. I love to paint barns and trees with no leaves; I love barns that are falling down, and I feel that I need to paint them before they disappear. I grew up on a farm so the barn was my castle, my fort and my Tarzan swing. Trees in the winter are at their most beautiful. You see their character and beauty. I also am intrigued by and enjoy painting shadows. I see shadows running across the land showing and telling me how the land rolls. They call to me.
