    I recall vividly the first oil painting I saw by Debra Hurd, some years back. It has haunted me and I've never forgotten it. It was a lovely bouquet of flowers. You know how much I love flowers but this beautiful bouquet had paint running down from the top. Just dripping wet paint. I thought at the time, what a way to ruin a lovely painting. But I was wrong. It wasn't ruined. Debra masterfully painted a beautiful floral arrangement and then went ahead and showed the viewer how fragile beauty is and how fleeting.


    Debra is my artist profile this week and on Fineartamerica and she has a gorgeous, loose style using thick paints and lots of movement. Her Tango painting is one of my favorites. Ohhh, if only I could tango! Yes. I love the tango.

When I'm asked which colour is my favourite, I tend to think in terms of which two or three colours I like in combination."
