Falling Into Winter
by Charlene Collins Freeman

Charlene Collins Freeman: "I am both enthralled and comforted by the richness of every day objects and moments. I am drawn to objects and scenes which, through their ordinary and familiar qualities, take on a sense of beauty. Something catches my eye, something common, and in that moment it strikes me as exceptional. I am particularly drawn to moments and scenes created by people, to the traces we all leave behind. There is great beauty in the every day quiet moments that surround us."   

"I have been painting and photographing for most of my life. Both my photographs and my paintings are the result of the language of photorealism and the intrinsic qualities of watercolors."
