Deeper into Impressionism

I continue to delve deeper into vibrant and altered colors.  The problem is I like it.  I like it so much better than what nature presents itself.  I guess that makes me a colorist.   I never could focus on drawing and drawing alone.  It always needed color and the more the better.  I started painting sunsets on the water at Lake LBJ in oil when I was 14.  Now if I can just free myself to see altered colored from within--I guess this a journey that all impressionists take as they develop their style.  I just hope I can learn to let go and see through the colored lens.
