"Anything under the sun is beautiful if you have the vision. The world is not interested in mere pictures.  People look for this expression of beauty. The painter will never achieve this by merely painting pictures...he must show people more than they already see and he must show them with so much human sympathy and understanding that they will recognize it as if they themselves had seen the beauty and the glory. This is where the artist comes in."

I hope the paintings have shown you some of the 'beauty and the glory '  and you will continue to seek out art..... whether in galleries, on-line,  or in a museum setting.    Art sustains us all,  making our lives richer,  giving us moments of reflection, wonder and peace.

Each new subject is the next challenge and opportunity for continued growth...what a wonderful  journey of discovery I am on, and most grateful for your response and appreciation of the work.

New treasures to find... and canvas to cover..... adventures await!
