September in Denali Park at 6:15 p.m. Colors dance and the evening summer sun spotlights the mountain. Wonder Lake is the place to be in autumn. After a long trip on the shuttle bus, my legs were stiff and I was tired but what a sight to welcome me to the heart of Denali Park. […]
Paintings can window us into a world…
Reflect on your heart.
It’s your wild.
Why art?
Paintings express things we feel but don’t know how to put into words. This is because color and composition makes you feel things. Feelings are hard to express in words.
Your collection of paintings represent what is important to you. Being surrounded by art that brings you joy makes your house a home. That is because you make it more personal with your choices.
Paintings will refresh your soul and help you relax and feel less stressed. Think about how relaxing it is to gaze into a painting that makes you smile. That reduces stress.
Talking to the artist about their art will make your new painting more enjoyable because it will make you feel a part of the process.
Pamper yourself by becoming a patron of the arts.
P.S. You will sleep better when your walls are protected with paintings : )
