The paintings in this gallery reflect the wide breadth of techniques and mediums that are the toys and joys of artists who follow the art rather than "career" imposed boundaries. Different ideas demand different techniques and it is a real privilege to revel in what art can do. Included in this gallery are oil paintings, pastels, watercolors and a large number of abstract handmade paper collages, which will soon have their own gallery page. I hope that you enjoy the diversity of these works.
