Painting

As the paint brush moves adding color to the scene, It comes to life and surrounding becomes serene A place for the mind to visit from a photo before As a memory is kept, when the mind opens a door An image that may travel to another place For others to enjoy and time does not erase Painting merges the past with the present in a frame Sitting still for observation, not one painting is the same Heidi Sands 7/2/21

The visual language of painting has inspired you well, Heidi. I love painting, but unfortunately I do not have enough time for all my hobbies. ~ Best regards // paul

Hello Heidi … being able to paint is a wonderful skill and I personally enjoy gazing at landscapes. To be able to have dimensions and detail has me in awe. Keep up the good work Heidi - Lindsay

It is satisfying Tom. I did 2 today. One per request and another for my gallery. I am happy you like the one on the home page. I couldn't paint years ago and taught myself, which took a long while. Thank you for your kindness. Happy 4th of July! Enjoy :)
