 "Sometimes I see a scene that just delights me and I will find myself lost in the lighting or the mood. I find myself thinking, analyzing....subtle colors, lights and darks, mood, composition. 

It's as if the painting is already completed, alive in my head, just like hearing a melody. 

- Mary Buergin
