Evening Shadows in Arceti
"I paint to remember – how the light is on a certain day at a certain time, how purple the shadows are on the snow, how soft the colors are at dusk – to try to capture what I am seeing and feeling. I like to paint watercolor with a big brush using the accidents, transparency, and freshness of the watercolor medium itself in my paintings. I like to see where it takes me.

Recently, I lived in Florence, Italy, for two and a half years. Wonderful! The light is different there and it was fun to try to capture it."
