Kim English – Capturing the moment

In Colorado, we had a room in our studio that we used for model sessions. The way the light would shine in could put some excitement into an otherwise ordinary scene.

Sometimes life seems to move so fast, that if I can just capture a moment, a little piece of this world, maybe it can help slow things down to a pace that I can appreciate. I don’t know why I seem to want to hold on to things that are so momentary. I guess I just want to take a closer look at what we sometimes fail to notice. That's why I paint. However, what things look like is only part of the picture.
