DUOCHROME ARCTIC FIRE

Duochrome Arctic Fire shows up best over black paper or at least, darker watercolor, so you cannot really see the color in this photograph. It has turquoise or teal glint that shifts toward violet. This is one of Daniel Smith's Luminescent Watercolors and as such has two distinct colors that it alternates between depending on how the light reflects. Again I need to say, I am no sure this is a color I would generally use, even with Daniel Smith's description in defense of luminescence found in nature.  I can see that if someone was painting on black paper or was after a particular effect, they might love this color, and I have to say, while it challenged me, I feel Duochrome Arctic Fire rendered snow well. This little squirrel provided a few hours of entertainment watching him pop up from the middle of a snow bank, Make a few snowballs and then do a nose dive into another snow bank only to reappear a few feet further down the way.

    SOUL

    “I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
