Warren Lee Gossett
Painter
Art, more specifically painting, has been an integral part of my life since the age of 14 when my mother brought home a box of Grumbacher oil paints in hopes they would help me recuperate from polio. Painting on cardboard as my canvases at first, I found my love of art and life taking wings. When I could afford them I discovered canvases, but it's the express of creativity that matters, not the surface receiving the paint.

I'm certain it's true of all artists - and possibility non-artists - but the colors - the hues in a spring dawn, the fire in an evening sky, the soft pastels of a deep winter snow, the complexity of tones in the shadows of a tree - colors and hues- they draw something out of you that makes you so very glad to be alive. Art is simply a visual celebration of life - an expression of the joy or sadness inherent in the lives we lead. Perhaps the artist has it one up on everyone else - he or she can lay that love of life out on canvas or paper for all to see. contact
