On the Wing Painting

Art. It was all around me as I grew up - paintings hung on the walls, a few sculptures in the living room, in exhibitions and museums we visited, in books to be explored. So when I began painting (during one of those periods when life keeps you housebound) there was, even if I wasn't aware of it, a strong sense of the possibilities. One that has only grown stronger the more I've explored and looked critically at my own work and that of others. Now, a surprising number of years later, here I am: an artist in love with the sensuousness of paint, the rich possibilities of colour and the subtle appeal of shape. www.mairimages.ca www.mairimages.wordpress.com
