Artist Statement for exhibit

           The way an artist gets "good" at painting is by painting, painting,
                    painting, and painting. I went out often with my field gear, doing outdoor
           studies in preparation for a trip to Arizona last summer. While on-location
           at Bitter Creek outside Clarkdale, I worked with smaller canvas panels.   
           That experience, along with the photos I took, created a book-mark for me.
           Upon return I began the real work, my homework, which involved problems
           to solve. To acquaint myself with rocks and dirt, I turned to the works of
Corot,
           and did a number of studies. Confidence grew and I attempted rendering
           black and white photos of mine with the colors Corot might have used.
           That exercise has helped produce much of this exhibit. The tall walls of an
           old stone quarry and its trees have given me material to work from, within
           driving distance of my studio and home in North Central Missouri.

                           Every painter chooses problems to describe with paint.
           What problems did I choose to tackle and how did I solve them?
           What details did I leave out? There are details to keep and details I chose
           not to paint. I am very satisfied with these works. What colors keep showing
           up in my work? I encourage you to drop me a line  at  colbornpond@netscape.net
           and tell me which paintings you enjoyed. Thank you.
