"Psychedelic Lemons" is the second painting I've created using this wonderful, colorful fabric in the background. Here is it's counterpart, "Psychedelic Pear" ... They look fantastic together and will brighten up any room. It was a good choice to paint this one on these cold, gray and raw winter days in the solitude of my studio.

Today's Quotation:  "Painting requires the bravery of solitude. Painting requires disciplined labor. To be a painter is to search the world with a benevolent eye for every subtle beauty that the infinite world offers."

Another lemon painting that's been hiding in my studio for a while. I think I have a case of 'Spring Fever' and just not up to communicating all that much today....

Today's Quotation: The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

This painting was completed a while back. Thought I'd post it again because I've been working on larger pieces which take longer to complete and I want to keep my nifty blog active as it should be. Would love to have more to say but the gray, cold, raw endless winter days here in upstate NY have gotten to me...at least tonight...

I just looked up from my computer and saw a family of deer across the road in the woods....lifted my spirit...they are so gentle, elegant and beautiful...

Here is another creation from my imagination. I actually just this moment noticed the angels in the cloud formation toward the bottom right of the canvas. We can all use a few angels right about now I think...I know I can...

I am in the process of creating another website at ARTSPAN exclusively for my paintings. My current website combines my Intuitive Work with my artwork. I've wanted to separate my artwork for some time now. So far I've gotten as far as my still life paintings there. I'll keep you posted as things progress.

I thoroughly enjoy painting these larger still life pieces and will most likely be painting quite a few more  now. I particularly like the background on this one and, if I don't curtail my obsessive leanings, would just use this fabric for the next few...but, I will opt for variety now...

I brought new paintings to the Flores Gallery I am associated with in Saratoga Springs, NY. Frankie Flores, the owner, suggested I continue to paint a bunch of these larger still lives as they are the ones getting a lot of attention and oohh's and aahh's...

Lemons and pears are my current favorite fruits to paint. I especially enjoy painting these large pieces  with the fruit being exaggerated beyond it's normal size. 

Were you aware that lemons symbolize longevity, purification, love and friendship? Now you are...

How do you feel when you look at this painting…Cheerful? Calm? Agitated? Depressed?…..
Here's a bit about what the color yellow is said to represent"
Pure, bright yellow is the easiest color to see. People who have difficulty seeing color can usually see yellow. It is the color of creative and intellectual energy. Yellow symbolizes wisdom, joy and happiness.  It is also said to bring clarity, awareness and enlightenment...

Today's Quotation: "The pursuit of art on a regular basis may be the key to healing our minds and bodies."

I'm rather at a loss for much to say about this little cherry painting which I really like. Wish I had some chocolate to dip them in when the painting was finished.

Are any of you interested in experiencing what some refer to as 'mind over matter'? If so, close your eyes, take in a deep breath, and imagine you are biting into one of these very tart red cherries....Did you salivate a bit?  That's mind over matter....

Today's Quotation:  “I think that there are those who write of life being a skip on the sidewalk, a chocolate bar, a bowl of cherries... the problem with that is it ends up disappointing people. Because life is more like being on the tube in London; you never really know what could happen! But then there are those people who bring a box of chocolates to eat on the tube...so life, it isn't a skip on the sidewalk, but it is a matter of strength: "Can I bring my bowl of cherries to feast on while I stand here in the gutter?" that's the essence of life. Can you still put on your rose-colored glasses while your eyes are filled with tears, and see everything in rosy colors? That's the strength that fuels a true life. Can you think to bring your little box of chocolates with you while you sit on the tube running under the streets of London? Because you should. Because even if you don't know anybody, and you don't know what's gonna happen next, you should have your box of chocolates with you. You should eat your bowl of cherries. And that is what life is.”

"Cosmic Lightning" was painted with a great burst of energy after I'd finished a more detailed, complicated painting. It was my way of relaxing and clearing the restrictive energy I was immersed in with the other piece. It was a very freeing experience. I went back to it yesterday, touched up some areas, and here it is....

Today's Quotation: "Space, and space again, is the infinite deity which surrounds us and in which we are ourselves contained.
