ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Sometimes it feels so good to feel less significant and less important! And one of the best ways to do that is to go climb a mountain, get high on that thin, crisp, pure air, and and to become overwhelmed by the expansive and endless view of the world. Makes one feel more like a tiny grain of sand on an endless beach. In this egocentric era of Social Networking, every one is the uncontested center of the world in his or her eyes ... this "Selfie" generation is in need of emotional adjustment in order to find its place in the rhythm of nature. Get out of the basement, get away from the computer and explore nature. Mother Nature is most beautiful when she is showing off. Sunny cloudless blue sky days are the most boring. All look the same ... Forgettable! It is the storms and the frightful struggles for survival that are burned into a sailor's memory, not the sunny days. Thus it is with physical nature. It is the gnarly, twisted, scarred features that create unique beauty in nature and produce an impactful visual experience worth remembering. All my paintings are Lyrical Landscapes that simply appear in my mind. My paintings all emanate from my personal experiences .... I recall visions and experiences from my decades as a professional photographer of nature and from the many expeditions and photo safaris that I organized and guided worldwide. You might enjoy viewing some of my experiences at . I paint under the Pseudonym "Cameron O'Neal." May You always find the beauty that surrounds you. Cameron O'Neal Important notes: 1.

Cameron O'Neal
United States
THE HISTORY OF CAMERON O'NEAL Cameron O'Neal was born at age 70. In an earlier incarnation he was Roger Moore, a real estate and financial executive, who transformed himself into "Mzungu", fine-art photographer and photo-safari guide who led photographic safaris throughout Africa, the Amazon, North, Central and South America - locations worldwide. He wore a bear claw necklace (fashioned, in the style of the Haida Indians, by a gypsy known as "The Mushroom Man") and a maple burl bracelet (crafted by a famous British woodturner in British Columbia). He carried a machete in his knee-high snake boots. Mzungu created incredibly beautiful black and white landscape photographs (View: ). When his seventh decade dawned Roger said, "Forget black and white!" It's time for color. I shall become a watercolorist!. I am now "Cameron O'Neal!" So named in honor of his mother and his wife's mother, a respectful appropriation of their maiden names. Cameron's artistic inspiration was a sculptor/painter named Jelly who lived in a yurt in a pecan orchard in Cowboy Country - tiny Roaring Springs, Texas (population 225) . Cameron and Jelly talked almost daily. Jelly packed egg sandwiches (with Mrs. Baird's white bread & Miracle Whip) and came to Cameron's studio in Dallas, Texas every few months, or Cameron trekked to the wilds West Texas to collaborate and create with Jelly and Tripod, Jelly's three legged Border Collie. This was a relationship developed over a lifetime ... Then Jelly died! Cameron was devastated and hung up his brushes. "My muse is Dead!". he mourned. After three years, Cameron picked up his brushes again because he began to feel that Jelly would want him to do so. Now Cameron paints colorful and vibrant "lyrical landscapes" which come from images in his mind. Cameron now says: "Mother Nature is my new Muse." Even now, Cameron still wears the bear-claw necklace and maple-burl bracelet in memory of the Past. Cameron O'Neal Watercolourist 1-972-333-6482
