It Starts with a Canvas

This is very different, to be writing an art book on myself. I have published several artist featured books, and have written about some incredibly talented people. I have also had the pleasure to meet literally hundreds of artists in the last few months, and have seen a broad range of artistic styles and perspectives. After 'seeing' all of this amazing art, it began to get my inspiration flowing, to express my 'views', if you will, of life as I see it, both from the external world, as well as the dark reaches of my mind. Mind you, Picasso I am not. But, what I do offer is a chance to not only 'see' things from my point of view, but also show you that with the right passion and inspiration, anyone can paint. And, it has a true way of instilling this inner calm in us, to be able to release the energy that flows through us, but it a creative, and artistic, way. During the month of July 2015, I spent one week creating the following 'works of art', as a way to express and release the 'flow' within. So, I hope you enjoy my take on being a painter......
