I love what you said Steve. I feel that we are taught about the magic of life as children, and then at a certain age we are told get real, be realistic, stop day dreaming. So we try hard to stay in the world of what is proven. The magic is in the world of what could be or what we dream. I am a much happier person realizing that magic is all around us in nature, everyday! I think that's what you mean, and I see that magic in all your paintings! That my friend is a true gift! l/f

Thank you for your kind words, Bernd, about both my artwork and the text that accompanies to it — this latter to which I extend much credit to my wife and life partner, Carolyn, a professional writer. She and I collaborate on the words to accompany the artwork, because we believe that both speak to the heart.

The beauty of the surroundings and the color of the hand made blanket around this native American in itself is wonderful but when you add the way she seems to be dreaming, perhaps reflecting on life, or even just today's events makes this a magical work of art.

Hi Steve, this is so incredibly beautiful; I love the warm earth tones and your composition. I feel your love of your craft through this beautiful artwork - love it!!! :-))
Thank you, Joyce, for your kind words. I do love painting, very much, conveying a sense of the world's beauty, and the hope that we can have within it, through my paintings. For that reason, I focus on light, color, and subject matter that encourages thought, meditation, and a sense of hope and joy. There just can't be too much hope and joy in this world, and in a marketing culture out to sell stuff, stuff, and more stuff, hope and joy are not the major messages. Artists, I believe, can make our difference through every creation that we make.

Amazing painting Steve. I was viewing the high resolution preview, and in awe of how all those brush strokes produce such a lovely piece of art. The Saguaro Cactus is a favorite of mine as I live in the unique Sonoran Desert of Arizona where they exist. So I am always attracted to artwork that features them. Warm, soothing colors during the golden hour. I enjoyed reading your description as well. With all this beauty to capture and render through our artwork, is certainly not ordinary at all. I enjoy all your artwork. You have a marvelous style that just draws you in. Congratulations on your recent Spotlight Feature, well deserved! LvFv Janet
Thank you, Janet, for your kind comments, and for taking the time to look at the high resolution to see the brush strokes. I enjoy creating work that, close up, has a sense of strong texture and movement -- with a well placed brush stroke that, from the distance, blends into the image to create the whole. To me, this is the beauty of representational painting, that blend of realism with impressionism and a bit of abstract, creating a scene that draws the viewer in and invites them to be part of the landscape.
