High Country Spirit by Cathy Goodale Wildlife Elk Oil Painting image: 20x20" Gallery wrapped, no frame, edges painted black ABOUT THE ARTIST: “If you pay attention, art transcends all parts of life and makes the ordinary things in life ‘a painting’. My passion is nature, where everything connects for me. This energy saturates my work.” Cathy Goodale is a dedicated, persistent, and educated artist whose style reflects individuality. Her career has been filled with painting, teaching and learning. The demand for excellence, painting in oil and watercolor, continues to drive all of her endeavors and imagination pushes her to paint past ‘artistic safe places’.
