I love that you bring beauty to your readers from every walk of life. Im very happy to have found your blog.
Awwww, thank you Claudia. I appreciate your feedback and your followership.
Such feelings of serenity in this piece. Will definitely check out her work. I have a soon-to-be-published article coming out on an artist named Craig Mooney. http://craigmooneystudio.com. TOTALLY different style, but his works elicit the same feelings of peace for me… Thx for scratching my “art itch,” pal…. 🙂
That’s it Lori. Serenity captured here. I will check out Craig now.
He does Lori. Thanks for pointing me to him.
Linda’s still lifes reminded me of the work of a painter friend of mine, Dennis Perrin, who lives in York, ME. He’s quite gifted as well. I love his nudes–they call to mind some of Courbet’s works, which I adore. You can see Dennis’ work here… http://perrinpainter.fineartstudioonline.com/ 🙂
Lori, thanks for pointing me to Dennis. He’s great.
