Poetry in Art

I hope my artwork will inspire you to imagine, explore, discover, experience, value, enjoy, feel...... the peace, tranquility, or energy of rivers, lakes, oceans, the calm, serenity, or power of sunrises and sunsets, the energy and grandeur of aspen forests, the sublime beauty and poetry of flowers.....

Cezanne
This is a quick pencil sketch I did a few summers ago when I visited France. I spent a week in Aix en Provence, the birthplace of Cezanne, attending a creativity workshop, which inspired me to further explore my creative spirit. I began experimenting with all the art mediums and learned to let go of my self critical, perfectionist limitations. It was then that I really began to paint.
