Description I just love the reflections of trees in water and so I tried to capture this God-given beauty in an abstracted way. This oil painting is of water in the Fall with lily pads as well. This was the first time I used oil bars to paint with and I love the effect they have. This painting is 28 x 28 and so it is very beautiful in person.
Penny Pausch, Jonesboro Member Since February 2012 Artist Statement I grew up way back in the hills of Missouri (U.S.). I was a country girl and loved every moment of it. My sister and I did not have many toys and so we played outside on trees and other things in the woods and learned to use our imagination. This has become an asset to me. I knew by the 5th grade that I wanted to be an artist more than anything else. I like to paint, sew, minipulate objects so that they are interesting, cook, and write poetry. One of my goals is to write a poetry book and illustrate it. I recently have gone back to college after 17 years of raising my children.
