Title

Mommy, Daddy, Tell Me What It Was Like Before

Description

AS A LIFE-LONG ARTIST, I have strived to paint beautiful things, and to create beauty in my life when there was none. Being in nature is where I find peace and tranquility; tree-tops swaying in the breeze and the beautiful white cumulus clouds are my inspiration. Something stirs in me that I can’t explain. All my senses are heightened, and I know at my core that I am a part of the wonder of Mother Nature – we are not separate. I look with my eyes at her beauty. I breathe in the smells that are life-giving and life affirming. I walk upon the earth and touch the trunks, branches and leaves of the trees and bushes. I hear the birds calling and singing, the small creatures rustling in the brush, the water bubbling, and washing over rocks as the water moves along the stream. All of my life I have found solace, serenity and peace in nature.
