Artist's Notes

In my first career in radio, I spent my days writing commercials and proposals, so writing has always been a big part of my creative process. For many years I wrote for an hour before I went into the studio...finding my inspiration. After learning about plein air painting, that was replaced with the actuality of being out in nature (frolicking in the marsh or on the beach) to become inspired. Now, it seems it has come full circle (as in all things) and I like writing a little about the paintings after I paint them. Sometimes, especially on the little ones that are on boards, I record my thoughts on the back of the panel.   So you may find that on some if you flip them over when you seen them in the galleries. 

Here are just a few notes about what I thought about while painting some of these....hope you enjoy. And, I offer my appreciation to you for taking your time to look at my new work.   Karen
