“Painting in the LPAPA Invitational has been a wonderful experience and is always a highlight to my year. It has been a blessing to meet so many talented artists and gain new friends. I have a very fond memory of winning the grand prize on the 20th Anniversary of the Invitational. My painting “Transitions” was painted from my host’s house which overlooked the ocean as the sun was setting. I could not have asked for a more perfect evening. It was a cool night and as I
was setting up my easel, the lights began to shine across the horizon and below. My excitement to get started was priority so I could capture what was in front of me and commit to memory. Sunsets are a magical experience, so I am always prepared with a camera or an easel to capture the moment when an evening show begins. Painting “Transitions” was not hard, I was given the perfect location, weather and an excitement to capture what was special for me. The title to the painting has a double meaning. I also had just finished treatment for cancer, and my body was accepting the new future. The sky was ending a beautiful day and subtly transitioning into a peaceful night to start a new day tomorrow. When I start a new painting, the title comes to me as I create, and so “Transitions” was born.”
