Summer in Colorado

“My colorful landscapes of aspens, mountains and streams are a tribute to the natural glory of Colorado. I love animals and identify with their spirit. I portray them full of expression and I paint their awesomeness with bold, bright colors. Abstractions allow me to explore painting with more abandon. I experiment freely with composition, color harmonies and exciting textures. My painting is direct, gestural and layered. The resulting paintings are the manifestation of my intuitive responses. They are not totally planned. They appear and develop with each brushstroke. I see life around me, I feel the impact and my paintings become a vehicle enabling me to share my feelings with others.” – Lorraine Danzo
