One of the libraries has asked for an artist's statement. The problem is; where do I start? There is so much to say. I walk through the world constantly aware of patterns and colors around me. In fact, probably more colors than most people because of my keratoconus. And, I probably see more patterns because of my orientation towards math. When I was adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing at the age of 5, I was also thinking of picture -- glimpses. My path through the world of art has been circuitous to say the least. So, perhaps that is where I should start.

Acryla Gouache
I have discovered and purchased aryla gouache by Holbein. It sounds intriguing. It is flat acrylic paint. Since it is flat, other water media such as regular gouache can be used with it. Once dry, it will not blend with other layers. So what excited me about this is that I love to paint on a colored ground and then layer and layer and layer! I'll let you know what it is like when i use it in the next couple of days!
Clean-Up Time
Wow. I can now see the floor and get to my paper and paints.
Yesterday, my son and I cleaned up the "room above the garage" where I store my art supplies. I can now actually walk to the drawers storing my paper! Much better than reaching across and above "stuff". I also organized my studio area so now my paints are much much better organized. Wow, again.
