Barbara Perrotti Ormond Beach, FL www.barbaraperrottistudios.com   "My first concern in painting is to establish abstract rhythms; that is when I can feel the music begin. As I push toward reality, my thoughts are focused on consistency of stroke, the simplicity of the impression and above all else, my love of painting."
