Once you become a painter of nature you look at the world in a totally different way. You notice how the light strikes the edge of a rock or the darkness that lines the shore where land meets the water. You look for the color in shadows and the angle of the sun on the mountains . You become mesmerized by the movement of water as you imagine how to transfer what you see to paper. Seeing in this way forces one to stop and linger...and ponder. It is the blessing of being a painter. -Cate Poole
