"Free Spirits" Abstract Expressionist Painting

Description

In viewing this painting, the artist often asked me, "what do you see?" There was always a conflicting debate between a floppy-eared poodle, or a Native American chief. Sharon Satterwhite used abstract painting and loose shapes to tell the story once she was finished. She never forced the paint to act a certain way, and allowed it to move freely throughout the canvas.
