Bonnie Flood
Oil Paint
“My love for color started when I was a clothing designer. After I closed my manufacturing of clothing, I needed to create with color again. One day I bought oil paints. I knew the minute I put that first stroke on a canvas that I had found a new way of creating. I have not stopped painting since that day. I love bold strokes of color and use the palette knife to finish my paintings. Most of my paintings are photos of my travels to Europe and also places of interest in the U.S.”
