AMETHYST GENUINE

Amethyst Genuine, one of the Daniel Smith Primatek Series, is, of course, ground amethyst in a tube. Straight out, it is nearly black. It runs the full value spectrum from darkest dark to a delicate pale lavender in the exact color of one of my favorite Iris. Even though it granulates beautifully, it also holds together in a smooth pale wash. I love my purples and my amethyst so I guess it was bound to happen, love at first swatch.

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.
