Rushing to go from here to there especially now that we are out and enjoying more freedom can cause a bit of anxiety. Actually ,don't most of us tend to "over-do"? I think we tend to forget to slow down, look around, express gratitude for where we are and what we have and then...BREATHE! This scene was inspired by view from a field that I encountered on an adventure with a friend. We decided to be spontaneous and took the day to explore and yes we slowed down to breathe! This was painted with an assortment of bold colors, textures and charcoal that then developed into somewhat of an impressionist painting with a bent towards abstraction...so I suppose this could have been anywhere!
Hope this inspires you to walk in gratitude as you slow down, look around and say..."Thank You"!

Hard to believe but the inspiration for this painting was a view of an area that was dry, with dead leaves and very few patches of green. I decided to paint this as I imagined it could be, filled with color and exaggerated brushstrokes on a vibrant red background. Yes, now this tells the story of what it could be or even what the area’s true identity really is....
Sometimes what our eyes perceive is not the whole truth, maybe there is more?
Enjoy your day and practice looking a bit longer at your surroundings and maybe more will be revealed!

I'm always early for appointments. As I was standing around waiting for my day to begin the morning I saw this scene I was captivated by the strong sunlight on the back of the old building and as a result of the yellow glow on the building the shadows leaned towards purple. I did exaggerate the colors but I wanted to draw the viewer into the scene to suggest we look again at the simple shapes the light can reveal and to also realize that even the shadows have color and a story to tell. The shadows are just waiting for the Light to move over them to expose their beauty. Maybe you can discover some depth to an otherwise ordinary scene...so much to discover! Enjoy the day and the Light that leads the way!

At first glance this painting seems a mass of the same greens with a few tree trunks. Look again because I tried to have you stay "Focused On The Center Tree". I played with layers of orange, yellow, turquoise, deeper blues, some royal purple and more to grab your attention. Many layers of paint and textures woven together were used to tell the story and complete this painting. The process took time and was a bit painful but before long the painting seemed to say...enough...."It Is Finished!". Thank you for stopping to read this and look, maybe even a bit longer than usual, at the center tree!
