"Untitled" Photograph

For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value. Claude Monet If a given combination of trees, mountains, water, and houses, say a landscape, is beautiful, it is not so by itself, but because of me, of my favor, of the idea or feeling I attach to it. Charles Baudelaire quotes No one knows what cuases an outer landscape to become an inner one. whiteflowers Margaret Atwood quotes Often while reading a book one feels that the author would have preferred to paint rather than write; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors. . Frank Lloyd Wright: ''Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.'' - Victor Hugo<br><br> My paintings are inspired by nature.My home is surrounded by seven adorable parakeets. These parakeets have filled my <br>home with love and inspiration. My parakeets embody my world with vivid <br>colors and sweet melodies that that echo throughout my home and heart. <br>I am constantly mesmerized by their grace while in flight..My art consists of being able to tell a story and and at the same time allows me room for self expression in <br>my paintings. In my work I focus on the use of color, layering paint, <br>and playing with composition. <br>bird, who halting in his flight on limb too slight,feels it give way <br>beneath him, yet sings knowing he hath wings. - Victor Hugo<br>
