Here is another new oil painting. This is an 11" X 14" original oil painting completed on a triple primed stretched cotton canvas. I just love the peaceful feel to a lonely waterfall. This is a painting of a place that to my knowledge, does not exist. I had this image in my head yesterday of this secluded, peaceful scene and decided to paint it. Most of my work is from my imagination. That is why most of my landscape scenes have certain similarities to them. My style, if you can call it a style is peaceful, secluded places that have no interference from the real world. We get so much garbage from everyday life, we do not need it when we get home as well. My strategy to fight the ever growing rash of fear mongering media and self centered lying politicians is to get lost in my mind. Explore beautiful places that do not exist anywhere except within the confines of my heart and then paint those places. All are welcome, but there are some rules. First rule, no one lies to each other. Rule two, no one hurts each other, and the final rule. Every morning when you wake, you need to reach your arms out to the heavens, take a deep breath and say Thank You for this perfect day. We need to try that once in awhile instead of what we are doing now. Who knows, maybe it would make things just a bit better. If not, I still have these peaceful places in my heart and I will continue to paint them as long as I am allowed. Have a Blessed Day everyone. Everything is good.
