Energy Energy, what we love… passion, energy-lines, and energy-transfers! the experience of a deep “sharing”, a deep “satisfaction”… what happens when one paints, and then when that energy is passed on, “shared” in the form of art, of "expression".  From Nature to the Artist to the Viewer. Hooray! That’s fun. Art is magnanimous! That’s why we love landscape paintings so much! Nothing has more of energy than the plain and simple of Big Mother Nature! Like a three-ring circus: always something going on! With her, Everything moves!. “Stuck” is not an option! “Depression” is not an option! She doesn’t have a luke-warm “opinion”, a drizzled-out “commentary” or, washed-up expression about being “Stormy!” or “sun-ripped”! Without a doubt, SHE IS! … part of the big, big, blue planet: everything in motion, moving, transitioning, and we, the Artist and the Viewer, come to realize that experience: with her “transformation”, we also transform!. Yes! We experience Her “births” from Winter to Spring to Summer, to Fall. But, but but , sadly,, sometimes we forget the fact. Perhaps, that “forgetting”, “not-appreciating” for a while, is well, just part of being “human”. Art brings us back to that “Bigger Mind” and gets us not to worry and fret about the small stuff. Basically, we are given permission to do like Mother Nature: “Follow That Big Flow. Follow Passion”!
