Others felt there was a deeper meaning in my painting, in the depiction of the subject matter, the composition and use of color. Perhaps this was a tale of fearful current events?
In a previous post, I talked about what inspired me to create the painting.
All art is open to interpretation. Volunteering as a docent at the Harn Museum of Art and hearing visitors express the meaning they found in the artwork was always so enriching. Each person's view of art is a unique perspective, colored by their own knowledge and life experiences.

Hi Karen,
I love the red shoes. I love the jack russell puppy. I love so many of your works of art. I'm thrilled to see you actively in the arts and now living in Florida where it's so much warmer than Michigan year round. I love our summers for golf and the lakes, beach and those wonderful walks and even winter with the snow fall so pretty on the trees, but sometimes it's a bit chilly too long. I long for Florida weather more and more in the winters.
Really good to see your paintings!
Thanks,

Hi Maridee,
So great to hear from you and thank you for taking the time to comment about my paintings. I miss the colorful MI fall and a dusting of snow...but not a three foot dusting so common in the snow belt!
Take care.
