My name is Sandy Ryke, I have been an artist for over 40 yrs,I live on the west side,I have been interested in art prize for a long time and my kids convinced me to show some of my art. I usually paint sceneries, either from a picture someone gives me,or what I recall from memories of places I've been .There are days I want to paint and can't think of something I want to do, so I just start painting and see what I end up with, this is what I've done here. This group of three paintings are a combination of graduations, weddings and grand kids, who bring a lot of color into my life. Everyone who studies the pictures sees something different, look for yourself, what do you visualize?
