This fascinating world throws up fleeting moments of beauty which I aspire to capture and somehow freeze the essence of these moments using the ancient yet still intoxicating language of colour. It almost seems to be an intuitive reaction Ð inspiration takes hold and I respond with pigment.</font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Although the initial subject matter is important in focusing my attention, it also acts as a springboard into the work itself. there comes a point where each painting takes on a personality of its own and commences to dictate each decision, evolving like a conversation.</font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2">I like to start loose composing in fluid areas of colour, then attempt to pull these together and convey the subject with an expressive economy of line. Here begins the alchemy and the juggling where decision follows decision until the manipulation is complete and the outcome revealed.</font></p> <p><font size="1" face="Tahoma"><b>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</b></font></p> <p><font size="1" face="Tahoma"><b>Go to www.Sallycarlaw.com and use the sitemap to navigate the site.</b></font></p> </body>
