    There is no doubt that the two things that draw me to a subject is the way the light is hitting it and the colors I see reflected.  I remember when my first art teacher began to describe the colors that were on
an apple that I was painting and she began naming every color in the rainbow...I responded that I only
saw red!  It took awhile but soon I began to see colors!  When I would close my eyes at night...I was seeing colors.  It was like a part of my brain woke up and it was pretty exciting.  I think it a matter of
focus and if you have a black dog or white shirt and you get in different lighting you will see all the colors that are reflected in light and in shadows.  I LOVE color and so I try to exaggerate the colors I
see and have so much fun doing it.  Today I was at Harbor's edge with my class and did a demonstration using two palette knives and one brush for just the eyes.  I have painted this cow before but in a different format and using all brush work.  Sometimes it is fun to revisit a subject and change
things up.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Not sure yet if I will post tomorrow but if I don't,
have a wonderful Mother's Day!
