Art by Rebecca DeRoos – Map #15

Fine Art, Mixed Media

There is an excitement in the world of colors. As a child I saw only black and white as I drew things with a pencil. As an architectural drafter and teacher, I saw the perfect lines of a structure and the waves of nature's outdoor beauty. Upon taking oil painting lessons, I saw a depth in colors and how the colors intertwine. No color is one, but a mix of many. I find that painting with the real image before me, I squint and see a grandness of light that shapes the colors of our world. It is a privilege and joy to be an artist, even to create a painting of one's own home.
