Do You Want To Know A Secret


Do You Want To Know A Secret

by Deborah Nell

18"x14" Watermedia on Yupo paper


This painting was inspired by the many children I met while on a short term missions trip to Nicaragua.

Their joy and beauty was contageous. I wanted to capture some of that childlike innocence in this painting.

Deborah--You're making me want to try to paint in a expressionistic abstract style. So much freedom BUT still control and unity of color in your composition.

Thank you all. Cecelia, that's where I feel most comfortable, expressive and abstract but defined enough to convey a message or tell a story.
