"Guardian Angel" is the 6th piece I created of the 29 that eventually developed in my Painting From "The Zone" Series. The original was painted on 22" x 28" paper with tempera paint and is not available for sale. I haven't wanted to sell the first ones that were painted on paper.

Today's Quotation: "The servants of Christ are protected by invisible, rather than visible, beings. But if these guard you, they do so because they have been summoned by your prayer."

Cameras just cannot capture the subtleties of artwork. This one looks much better 'in person.' I have always been fascinated by the stark black and white patterned zebra. 

The zebra is said to represent individuality, grace, beauty, honesty and freedom. It is a power animal. The spiritual meaning behind the stripes has to do with the integration of opposites, thus enabling us to see the deeper truth....

Today's Quotation: "When we sit down day after day and keep grinding, something mysterious starts to happen...Unseen forces enlist in our cause; serendipity reinforces our purpose."

This painting was created from a photograph taken at Ocean Beach, New Jersey. Wish I was there at the moment. Can you smell the ocean? Feel the wind? I can...Some of my earliest and happiest memories were when I was at the beach with my parents. We rotated between Rockaway Beach and Jones Beach on Long Island, NY. I loved riding the waves.

My mother used to make ham and american cheese sandwiches which tasted like heaven after a vigorous workout in the waves. I haven't had white bread, ham or american cheese in many moons. White bread because it is white bread and not whole grain....ham, because of the salt content and processing, and american cheese because of the processing. BUT...I will make it a point to eat one occasionally from now on...

Today's Quotation: "The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone."

I struggled trying to come up with a good title for this painting until ... all of a sudden...the pear reminded me of a sunny-side up egg.

Well, Mother's Day has come and gone and I just realized my timing is a bit off. In any case,  this is a painting of what I believe I depicted as my mother and myself. The mother doesn't look like my mother at all but the very dark hair, red bow in the child's hair and red shoes were enough to hint that the child is me. 

Once again, let me reiterate that these paintings are totally spontaneous. I had no recollection until I painted the red bow and shoes that my mother loved putting red bows in my hair and a fairly traumatic experience took place when I was wearing little red patten leather shoes at the hospital when I had my tonsils taken out. Those memories hadn't been in my conscious mind for many many moons...but, the painting brought them back....very interesting, at least for me...

These paintings really need to be seen 'in person' to be appreciated for the detail and images. It's near impossible to capture all that with a camera. "Violet Angel" is one of the first paintings from 'The Zone' that I created and it was painted on paper with tempera paint and is not for sale....at least not at this point. I might change my mind later on...

Can you imagine the surprises while painting these? Imagine trying to keep your mind clear of images/impressions and just following your hand from paint to canvas...it's like..."Wow! Where did that dragon suddenly come from? Or, when I think foliage might be developing (top of painting) and it turns out to be snakes or new species of insects! Quite an adventure...

Today's Quotation:"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.”

Another painting from "The Zone" Series. I've had these works hanging out in my studio for quite some time. They have only been on exhibit once. I am waiting for the right venue to present itself for another debut...They make quite an impression as a group...

I hadn't realized there actually was a species of bird called "Lovebird" until just this moment when I followed an impulse to look it up at Wikipedia. Lovebirds are a social and affectionate small parrot. Their name stems from the parrots' strong, monogamous pair bonding and the long periods which paired birds spend sitting together. 

Today's Quotation:  "Art is our one true global language. It knows no nation, it favors no race, and it acknowledges no class. It speaks to our need to reveal, heal, and transform. It transcends our ordinary lives and lets us imagine what is possible." 

-Richard Kamler, artist and creator of the Seeing Peace Project

So here's another painting from "My Zone." ...and...one of my favorites. Snakes have been one of the consistent images that appear in this series of adventure and discovery. 

The serpent or snake is one of the oldest and most widespread mythological symbols. In some cultures, snakes were fertility symbols. In religion, mythology and literature, serpents and snakes represent fertility or a creative life force. As snakes shed their skin through sloughing, they are symbols of rebirth transformation, immortality and healing...

Today's Quotation: "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." 

-Theodore Roosevelt
