Starry Inspiration

 I was asked to donate a piece of artwork for a charity event in my hometown to support their art organization. The event's theme is Starry Starry Night. As a child Starry night was one of my favorite paintings before I even knew who created it or what it was about.  
I just knew that it was a work of amazing beauty. I was completely fascinated by the lines, the texture,and the movement. I would stare at it in the Childcraft Encyclopedia for ages.


 I was always intrigued with  Van Gogh's Sky... The curves as the the wind could be seen. There is comfort in the wind.
Swirls, Curving lines, have always brought a meditative comfort while drawing.
This is the piece I sent off this week. It is my hope that whoever, if anyone, purchases it, that is bring them peace, comfort...and as with all lotuses...a reminder to rise above...push through the muddy waters...face the sun....

"Flood of emotion" artists healing Japan






so these are the two paintings i just dropped off for the "FLOOD OF EMOTION" benefit for Japan.


In this picture i scotched them together...but they are two separate paintings.
5x7's
acrylic on canvas
one is named Re-Chair #2 and the other is REACH-AIR #2.....


i have this "thing" about chairs...but this particular style of chair for some reason...i dunno, maybe some therapist can tell me why...but, Recently i have referred to it as the "lonely chair"....seems fitting...


It was actually kind of difficult to give these two small paintings up....


I mean, i am happy to give to a good cause any day....


but these chairs sort of hit me in the gut...and it felt like i was giving away my children....which is EXACTLY WHY I HAD TO GIVE THEM AWAY.....especially for this particular cause....


" you have to let go of the past to welcome the future"


" out with the old, in with the new"


" you must let go, to receive"


yes, those were the thoughts in my head as i bagged these babies up and filled out the paperwork for their adoptions....


Like all work, i hope it goes to a good home....and i hope that it helps others by raising money....
