Mystery – a sign asked for and received
I was so excited and thrilled when I discovered "Mystery" was selected as one of the Finalists in the November Bold Brush Competition! Wow! What an honor!
For me, every painting is a wonderful adventure, a dream yet to be realized, and a result that I am excited to see! The combination of colors together with accents just happen as I paint and the rest of the world fades away! I’ve painted a lot of pieces and with each one, a little part of me wonders if anyone else will see what I see. Will they like it? Because I have set a lofty goal for my paintings, I prayed that I would be shown a sign to tell me I was on the right path. To be chosen as a Finalist in such a prestigious and tough contest is an absolute honor! I know I’ve chosen the right journey and the right medium through which to achieve my goal.
It's been a fascinating journey so far in the world of art and I owe a lot to my only art teacher, Joe Mac Kechnie, a brilliant artist himself. It has been one of my true blessings over the years to have known such a wonderful teacher and human being. I have learned so much from Joe. I do not believe I would have come this far without him. He has not only been an amazing and patient teacher, he has been my Encourager-in-chief! I value his advice, always. His gentle soul has a calming effect and brings out the wonders from the depth of the mind and the soul and also instills in me to be adventurous and try new forms. Thank you, Joe!
