    She’s a talented artist. I did see motion in that painting. I thought of a bull charging looking at it.

    How interesting that she uses different media, and successfully. I do love her abstracts!

    I’ve never had tile fish, so I would try that!

    I like the warm colors in Canyon Country and the cool ones in Canyon Land, but the composition of Big Bend Trip is especially pleasing to my eye. She appears to be very talented, and I’m glad you broke your visit into two parts so we could enjoy all her works!

    I am feeling Dali and Van Gogh inspiration in a few of these pieces. But the artist does indeed possess her own unique blend, very lovely.

    The abstracts feel agitated and chaotic, while the landscapes feel calm and peaceful.
