Portraits & Paintings by Loretta McNair

"Painting is the pursuit of intelligence, wherein self-expression is merely a by-product of learning to paint.  To pursue any art form as a means to express the self is limiting.  Learning to paint expands intelligence, and develops sensitivity -- sensitivity to people, to relationships, to all the things in the world.  Without cultivating this understanding, can art, painting have any depth?  Great painting is the product of a mind that is seeing, tasting, exploring the entire fabric of life."  

-David A. Leffel

Welcome to the beginning construction of my first website for displaying paintings.  Please come back soon for updates.
