I focus on representational oil painting that often involves people being themselves and presenting them in a way that triggers memories for the viewer.
MessageI was fortunate to visit Colonial Williamsburg on Veteran's Day and my husband was able to participate in a ceremony there to honor the Veterans. Part of the ceremony included the firing of the cannon. The first time they fired the cannon, I was delighted by the choreography as they all, but one, bent away from the machine and covered their ears. As the artist I worked to capture the cloud of smoke and the action of the artillery men.
