Chasing Butterflies... also entitled Playing Outside With A Friend.... is a reminder to Play...and the importance of outdoor play in our lives.... I first painted this image for the Fairhope Intermediate School ...from the request of Ricky Trione and Vicky Nix Cook to paint a 48x48 piece for the school... and decided this is an important message.... as we learn while playing.... the response was so positive that I painted a second piece and this is it....36 x 48.... acrylic on canvas.... Play ( at any and every age ) is one of the keys to health and happiness... as is the creative process....enjoy the art!
Once upon a time ...there were eleven eggs... the rest of the story is up to you and your visual imagination...there is no need for more words....that's part of the beauty of ART....each picture tells its own wordless story....literature without words! As an avid reader, this wordless literature becomes an important part of the library.....imagination is nutured.... a mere 3 x 18 "...acrylic on linen...
Since eggs are a recurring theme for me , this image evolved .... the egg on the branch ( a delicate balance...life is change ) into the egg delicately balanced , cracked , and the emerging figure....then the title just fell into place.... 6x12" acrylic on linen.... a birthday surprise....
Mermaid reclining .... crescent moonglow...silvery textured tail ...what wet wishes wondering while waves wash ... dreams swimming.... fascinating fantasies.... these feminine sea creatures allow us to image and pretend.... the art transports ... acrylic on linen...Sold
Mysterious mermaid ... gently rocking... wet with wonder...waiting....textured tail with silvers glistening...acrylic on linen....Sold.... ( and I am fascinated as those who choose the mermaid art invariably look uncannily close to the mermaid in the painting....)
Mermaids come in waves....this one has a lovely textured flourescent tale...we can only imagine her fluid thoughts and drifting dreams..... 24x36...acrylic on linen.... Sold
