Born, Sally Lynn Hurd August 17th, 1953 Modesto, Califronia I love the loose and luminous expression the water medium gives me. Watercolor can be a very challenging medium. For me to grow as an artist it is vital to experiment. City lights was one painting of many in a series of night street scenes of San Francisco. Each painting lead to a new idea for the next piece.Thinking of an abstraction first, lines, values of middle to dark, were used to convey movement to capture the essence and excitement of the city's noise and action of a rainy night. Art is my visual personal expression of my journey through life. My reactions to people, places and events. My art is, I hope, sincere feeling expressed.
