“Find the romance in your painting.” - Lamar Dodd

While painting in studio during a class, Mr. Dodd spoke these words to Sharon, which have resonated with her throughout her painting journey. What she learned about the word “romance” in regards to her painting, was to find that feeling of “mystery” or something that removes you from everyday life.
