Living with Art is Living a more Beautiful Life
Art created by a talented, passionate artist can at best change your life, and at the least change your mood.
Art brings glory to the world around us by freezing moments in time and showing the beauty of simple objects.
Representational art, (art that looks like something) is the truest form of abstraction. Using shapes of color in the right place to give the illusion of a three dimensional world on a two dimensional surface.
Abstract expressionists attempt to depict the feeling of something, well if a gallery director needs to explain the feeling the artist is trying to convey than the art is a failure. A beautifully executed representational oil painting can generate emotions in the viewer all on it's own, it doesn't need to be explained. we are in the early stages of a representational art renaissance, and we are glad it is happening.

We Live Art, and that's a Good Thing!
Most people don't think about art, and can't understand why some people do. At our house art is ever present, 90% of everything we do is art related. We create it, we buy it, we look at it, we study it, we read about it, and we enjoy all of it. Our hope is that we can share our love of art with others and bring an appreciation of art to a larger audience.Artists We Like;

I see that you love Richard Schmid's work. He is a friend and fellow painter -- he directs The Putney Painters, a group of which I am a member.
I'm just getting started with Squidoo and plan on making a lens on what some of my mentors have shared with me.
Great work, by the way!
