Twenty one years ago I started painting "TheCircles". To me each painting represents a cycle in time, a cycle of universal events, a cycle of natural evolution and a cycle of ones perception. The focus of each painting is different but collectively they all are one painting. They are windows from which one may take a step back and see patterns of life in it's entirety. I see each painting in my minds' eye before I paint it. The title always comes to me first. Each composition is a research and learning processfor me, as the painting nears completion. It grows out of images perceived from the title and how that relates to "The Circles" concept. The rainbow palette of color I select is similar in all of "The Circles" paintings, for two reasons. Visually, it provides a continuity to the works. Ascetically, a rainbow elicits feelings of joy and hope in many people. These are qualities I strive most to convey in "The Circles"paintings.

A Legend has been written for each painting about what "Rainbow" wants you to get from her understanding of what she has painted.

When you get to the MAIN GALLERY all you have to do to view one of the paintings in a larger format is the click on the painting you want to see. It will go to that page and there you will see all of the detail and be able to read the legend written for that painting.
