Earth tones are such beautiful colors, rich, subtle, not jarring.  The colors in these paintings are the colors of Lake Superior, rust red, blue-green grey.  I painted “Ewes,” “Winter Babies,” and “Hibernasium”  before we moved here.  When I painted them, we were living in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, where the predominant color is either bright green or brown, depending on the season.  I think the colors of these paintings indicate that I was looking for this part of the world even then; so glad to be here now.
