What to Paint

Crabby Abby

The things that each artist chooses to portray are as varied as the artist themselves.  Choices are made as to how we perceive our world; we can show its worst side, its best side, or the way it really is which is a combination of both, I think.  The style of displaying our visions are also personal, but the important thing is not choice of style but the fact that there is something within each of us that wants to get out and be shared.

The first painting of our golden retriever at the beach did not have the crab.  Five years later the crab was added which made for a better scene than Abby sniffing sand.  You just have to find the right prop to finish paintings when you are a storyteller.
