When I paint I am especially interested in the interplay of light and shadow. I usually use a limited palette of three colors and experiment with different combinations. When using watercolor I am charmed by the happy accident of paint mixing on paper and then blending into subtle colors. Recently I have gone full circle and have begun using oils, along with gouache, oil pastels and acrylics, which I find to be challenging and fun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Calibri; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: justify; text-justify: newspaper; text-kashida-space: 50%; margin-bottom: 1.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Calibri; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-armenian-font-family: Calibri; mso-hebrew-font-family: Calibri; language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eSharon has lived in Dubuque since she was 16, having moved from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
