Intimate With Flowers & Nature lll

Sea Stone As Inspiration For Art

One of my favorite places to escape and enjoy my version of "eye candy", is some of the secluded and "unpicked over" shoreline along coastal Maine. I love to take my shoes off and walk through the lapping water, exploring the beautiful shapes and color of glossy smooth stones bathed in rippling low water and sunlight.

The waves smash against the ancient jagged rocks, then recedes. The water around my feet is obscured with sediment, ripples, and bubbles in the bright sunlight. For just a few moments the clouds pass over the sun and the water clears, and I can see stones that are polished smooth and beautifully colored.

Piece #1 of my newest series; "Intimate With Flowers & Nature" I will be working on through this winter. #2 Should feature a beautiful white floral. #3/#4 Will be either a Blue-purplish Floral or a Lily Pad & Water Piece. #1 Gladiolas 36" x 48" Canvas, Acrylic Painting This piece is about 90% complete at this point as I am working on detailing and deciding on whether I will use a medium on this piece or not This piece will not be for sale right away as I may wait until I finish the grouping to show them as a collection and then decide on sale prices. Thanks for following my progress as I am excited about this series and can't wait to show you the rest of the series as they progress! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Awaken From Sleep

"I'm like a man who's been half-asleep all his life, trying to find out what he was like before he woke up."
~Quote from: "Flowers for Algernon"

Moments captured in mind & soul

A soft whisper,



and a gentle breath of wind...



a beautiful dream,



where for a brief moment,




time stands still,



...and we are truly alive.
