  3. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

    Nature is most beautiful sight. Always perfect in its natural disarray.

Besides 3d development, my interests include quantum physics, astronomy, genetics, ancient history, psychology and philosophy. I enjoy travelling, music, painting, reading, photograpy and good food.

    I like the clear deep blue sky in the background.
    Nice image.

    May I ask, do you shoot all these pictures yourself?

  9. Beautiful images on your site in general and this one in particular. As a group they looked a little dark to me (in Chrome). Maybe that’s your intention. But it may be a color profile issue. There appears to be a mismatch between the metadata and embedded color profile. (So, might look one way to you and a different way to others.) See for example: http://regex.info/exif.cgi?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fleafandtwig.files.wordpress.com%2F2012%2F10%2Fdsc01997.jpg
