Natural subjects hypnotize me . . . the beautiful symmetry in the arrangement of a dahlia's petals, the hatch pattern on a pine branch, the amazing juxtaposition of purples and greens in a budding hyacinth and the astonishing blue that's revealed as the flower opens. I find studying these fascinating forms and attempting to render their likenesses completely captivating.
