I just love the feel of sitting down at my easel and painting whether it is my usual abstract or just blending colors on my canvas. It is definitely a way for me to express how I am feeling or to get out some pent up feelings or just to...

I am artistic in many areas. One is painting. I use acrylic paint. I am known for my eye in detail in all my art. It is no different in painting.
