When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.

"Impromptu Ballerina Rose Bouquet" by Karla Nolan
I
studied oil painting with Daniel Edmondson some time ago, a marvelous
teacher and fine person. He paints the most beautiful still life
paintings, something I never felt I could even approach with a brush or
palette knife. I was inspired, however, more than I knew, to attempt a
more "rugged" or less refined painting recently, with the thought of the
pink ballerina rose bush planted in front of our house as the subject
matter. Dan has a more representational approach and I just tend to
abstract my realism, as you can see! (I might add here, he teaches some
amazing painting classes via DVDs, you might want to check into
these....he's on Facebook with more information....)

"Life is an onion and one peels it crying."--French proverb
Escapism. Defying time. Serenity and solace. Reliving treasured moments...the reasons I paint and make artwork. The creative acts are surely the most pleasant and yet difficult of all. Color and form are special friends. The challenge of perfecting artwork is monumental and exhilarating. This effort has grown to be both friend and family, which are the two most important aspects of my life. Judaica is my most challenging art...Hebrew and I don't always get along!
I'm mainly self-taught in art, relying on intuition, experimentation, benefiting from studying books, visiting museums, galleries and learning painting techniques from other artist friends/relatives. I've studied pastels with Clive Tyler, taken oils with Daniel Edmondson. My newest medium is painting on glass, inspired by an Italian master, bringing this art technique home and applying my own topics. My oils are mainly with palette knife.
This art style might be called "abstract realism", an oxymoron in its own right. Favorite contemporary artists include Cruciani, L Horowitz, Berberian, S Stork, C Tyler, D Edmondson.

"Dance like nobody's watching"
Painting
for me is quite a passion and I enjoy to paint from inspirational
music, experiences, and travels. Every so often people inspire me too!
I was listening to some of my favorite classical and before I could stop myself she started to dance on the canvas.
Hope you enjoy!
