Wherever I travel it seems my mind is painting and trying to think through getting to the beauty.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Jose and Donna T! Donna, your paintings do reflect your idea of calmness and peace, I do find that in your work. I sometimes let my natural flamboyance show through, but as I get older I seem to value calmness and peace.Donna Van Tuylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341612740396001971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537774717171903242.post-50354078416267422042008-12-13T08:28:00.000-08:002008-12-13T08:28:00.000-08:00Beautiful painting, Donna! Interesting quote and ...Beautiful painting, Donna! Interesting quote and I agree with your interpretation. I never aim to "shock" anyone with my artwork. If anything, I'd like to have the opposite effect; to impart a sense of calmness and peace. But that's just me.Donna Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129186863757507990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537774717171903242.post-53996187824113102272008-12-12T20:56:00.000-08:002008-12-12T20:56:00.000-08:00Hi,It's said that it's the artist's job to improve...Hi,<BR/><BR/>It's said that it's the artist's job to improve on Nature :-)<BR/><BR/>Kind regards,<BR/><BR/>JoséJosé Carrilho (Go Detail)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965916774046623372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537774717171903242.post-3825555883186325252008-12-12T20:54:00.000-08:002008-12-12T20:54:00.000-08:00Donna, Nice scene!

Sometimes, when I'm driving through areas of the city that do not seem to offer much beauty, I often wonder what would I paint if I were there with my gear. It kind of forces me to look at things in a different way.Adriana Meisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912385705440810912noreply@blogger.com
