Thank you for sharing the nice artwork.

If you watch this video, these are trees on my farm, and note that there is nothing man-made in any of them. No fences, for example.
I have to look at a painting a lot before it begins to speak to me. And then it does give me solace and encouragement and a return to Beauty. The painting gives me advice, in how to look at the world, and strengthens me to go out into that world. And the painting changes as the lighting changes, and as the years go by, and as your life experience deepens; the painting watches you silently like an Inukshuk, and it is up to you to recognize its power.
This one, with music by Philip Glass and paintings by Soren Dawson, is posted here as a statement of love to all of you.

Not exactly art but from my backyard.


Here's my little pooch. She is my work of Art!

This is a great idea. It's definitely nice to surround oneself with beauty instead of dwelling on any negativity

Hi, what a great idea - I had not thought about viewing art on my computer - too busy googling etc. Soothing and takes my mind away from PD thinking!

Coincedently, I was at the Apple MacWorld a few weeks ago and listened to a talk "art goes digital" - about where to find art on the internet:

artsy.net - a variety of pieces

googleartproject.com - I think google drove their cam cars around major galleries and took hi res photos

artauthority.net - more collections but I think this is an ipad app

I haven't really explored these links in any detail, but I'm sure there's lots more and apologies if this info is already buried in the thread

btw, 2 out of 3 of my kids are serious artists, and I'm not - go figure

Thanks to whoever started this discussion...

Something a little different......

Hi i also love art and after my diagnoses of pd i decided to joing the rancs and try painting. Painting was my salvation , i could get pass the stiffness and just forget about it while i was doing that. I could not draw a straight line , when i first started 7 years ago . Now i had a few exhibitions and sold feve paintings. I do watercolors mostly landscape and flover and colored pencils portrait of children and animals. But evwen if i did not sold anything i would paint . It gives me pleasure behind the measure.

I meant to share this on Mother's Day but missed it. It's one of the poems that my wife and I offer during the Summer craft shows we attend. I hope you enjoy it.
