| 'Palm Trees at Sunset' |
Art speaks to people in different ways, as does various art
forms speak differently to each individual.
Take for instance, music… music moves you with sound and beat. Movies and dance, moves you through not only
sound, but visually. The written word directs you by the words you read… and
sometimes by the words, you don’t! With
each of these examples, usually the meaning is told to you by some method. Yet
that’s not true with all art.
For example, paintings and drawings may carry a strong and
sometimes very personal message to the artist, and a completely different
meaning to the observer.
My acrylic painting above, makes me see more than just a
sunset…(which you don’t really see.) The
beach chair and umbrella make me believe that its occupant is closer to the
actual sunset, possibly even in the water!
It makes me reminisce of times on the beach, bringing back the sights,
sounds and smells of a day on the beach and lastly enjoying the calming sunset.

| 'Embracing the Morning' |
This picture is of a couple snuggling close - looking out on
a new day. I picture them on a
mountaintop on a chilly morning…with their light jackets on. This could also mean the start of a couple on
a new journey in life for them. Pictures
speak on a personal basis to each!
Lastly, and sadly, this one has no name. I was going to add some bright pretty colors
to the flower petals, but sensed a calmness to the picture just as it was, so I
left it. It has a transparentness to it…hmmm…what’s
it mean to you? There is no wrong
answer!
All the above pictures are original, 8 X 10, acrylic
paintings on canvas. They are all $40
each. If interested, please email me

Thank you and Enjoy!!
