Two Trees

Thank you for being the first. This is a little scary, but I am enjoying all of the beautiful paintings I get to see without going to an art museum. So much easier this way. Be Blessed.

Thank you so much. The day before I took this picture a couple were getting married right there. It was so foggy they couldn't even see the ocean. For music, a man was playing his bagpipe. It was very winsome.

Looks to me a beautiful place - funny how they decided to plant those two Pine trees (whatever tree they are)insuch a way. well Done!

Thank you. It almost seems like they are standing guard. I didn't realize it was so striking until I printed out the picture. Blessings.

You have a wonderful ability to create the abstract - I envy you the freedom that gives. God-given talent comes at any age; four years ago, in my mid-50's, I started painting and it filled a void caused by a disability. God is good. Be blessed.

This is lovely. Reminds me of the Cote d'Azur. Judging from the light and shadows I imagine this is nearing the evening. I can just smell the air and feel the tempreture and humidity in the air changing. Makes it real personal to me.

I am so glad that you like this picture. I love the California coast and yes, the smell of the air and the temperature are part of what makes it so special. The pictures of your daughters are beautiful. I hope you will share some of your other art work with us. Be blessed.

I so appreciate your lovely comment. Are you working on a new painting at the moment? I either do a lot of painting or nothing. I find that strange, but sometimes I just don't want to paint. Look forward to your next piece, Mike

Yes, I am working on a painting - actually, a couple of them, but am a little self-conscience about posting them. I'm working on my courage, so they should be up in a day or two. Thanks for asking. This site really has encouraged me to paint every day. I just have to make sure I choose the right subjects. Do you ever have trouble with that? I would like to think eventually,it will get easier. Have a great day!

Hi 'CJ', i have just discovered your site and really love your work - you have a very special something coming through in your work, can't quite put my finger on it!! But it must be coming from your heart anyway. Keep painting and i will keep visiting to get my 'fix'!

27 days

What a nice thing to say! I am so glad you like my work and feel that there is more to it than paint and canvas. I looked at your work and wow, you have so much fun and color in your pictures. We are very different in our styles, but we have both been blessed. I still have a long way to go and need a lot of practice, but you keep visiting and I know I will get better!! Blessings to you.

Hi C.J....Welcome to PIL.It is a pleasure to have you in our circle of brilliant artists, I am constantly astounded by the
quality & the God-given talent of our members.& you are no exception, your "Two trees" is beautifully,& I can tell,lovingly painted. It would be, indeed, a great memory of your stay there on your birthday.
The Lord has given everyone on earth, their own special gift & I would imagine Him standing there with His finger on His cheek, thinking...."Now, let's see, I think I will give
these people here, the gift of ART." & you are one of those people. Glorify Him in your wonderful painting.
10*s for your "Two trees" hun. God bless, my friend.
Tony. X

My dear Tony, you have no idea the encouragement you have given me. I never drew a thing (that you could recognize) until after a surgery that left me pretty much disabled. Then one day, four years ago, I started painting free-hand. It is still very time consuming for me, but God has been awesome in directing me. Maybe I was just too busy before to see His direction. Now my days are filled with music and painting and am happier than I have ever been. Thank you so much for your kind words and I know I will be a better artist because of you and the other artists on PIL who are so full of love and encouragement. Blessings for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Tony. Thank you!

Lovely composition with great depth and a real sense of vision and radiance.

Thank you for your comments. I am very new to the art world having never even explored its possibilities until 4 years ago as a result of being disabled. To date, this is my favorite piece and I am drawn to it again and again. I have a long way to go before my work always looks professional, but it is a wonderful trip and I am blessed to find others along the path that encourage me. Your comments are most welcome and I thank you for taking the time to respond in such a meaningful way. Blessings for today.

When you have a few hours free, just enjoy yourself and try an abstract. You never know what might happen. It is creative and fun. Cheers from Mike
