DORIS PELTZMAN

Artist Resume and Statement:

Artist's Statement:
I am a direct painter, painting mostly from life to capture the moment. The excitement of the moment and the immediacy are what drives me. It is that total impression that creates the completed painting. I focus on color, harmony, light, mood, texture, composition and the calligraphy of my brush strokes. I love to experiment with a variety of palettes and surfaces. It is the visual stimulation that drives and moves me forward. And when a painting is complete it is time to move on to new images. This is true in art as it is in life.
