My Giving Tree Event

   I was recently asked to participate in a charity event sponsored by My Giving Tree in Belton, TX.  This event was created by Leila Valchar, owner of My Giving Tree,  to benefit  'Aware Central Texas'  (ACT), a program that is devoted to educating the public about preventing child abuse.
Leila has gathered a group of Central Texas artists to donate a percentage of the sale of their art to this worthy cause.  The event is scheduled for November 16-17, 2012 at:

My Giving Tree
121 N. East Street
Belton, TX 76513

New York, New York

I have been thinking about visiting New York City in the fall.  I would love to see Central Park and the outlying areas away from the city.  I hear that New York state is one of the eastern states that has spectacular display of colors in the fall.  Until I plan a trip, I will have to settle for other ways to visit.  I recommend this site:

My Soul, My Voice

The Flamenco is a personal expression of emotion that is artfully danced to the rhythm of a soulful guitar melody.  That connection between the dance and the music is a message that carries the audience through an emotional journey that reflects the complexity of the dancer's steps, claps and shouts. The dance with all it's movements, swirls and song is the dancer's voice.

So it is with this painting that recreates the dance with vivid and passionate colors and design.  I have allowed the Flamenco Soul music to guide my hand and brush to create a personal experience on canvas that relates to you the soul of the artist.  This is my voice.

“The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.”

~ Charles Baudelaire

Brooklyn Bridge

An inspiration to paint maybe. 

 

This picture was taken while touring on the river in June 2006.  You can see the Brooklyn, Washington and Manhatttan bridges.

The Door

 

I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.  John 10:1-11
