K.Henderson's nostalgic love for the good old times is here with the great
sepia portraying of Cowgirls' mood. The new painting Cowboy's Sweet
Heart, oil on linen, 20 x 30"  will be featured in the upcoming issue of
Western Art Collectors Magazine. I am going to rent the movie right now.
Thank you for this delight in our souls, Kay!

THE TOP 100
PAINTINGS
The next winner I assume will be "Returning Home" by Nancy Howe. This
painting has many different shapes and textures - big and small, stable and
moving, heavy and light, hard and soft, and they create rich and diverse
artistic world. The 3D modeling of the space is absolutely convincing -  
panoramic view and lovely details, the color harmony radiates dreams and
peace, and every brushstroke leads toward the touching idea - Returning
Home. Congratulations, Nancy, and good luck with the new painting!

The Garden of Lights
Look at this Garden of Lights! Look at the
glorious life of those flowers - born for a
moment, they will live forever. Look at the
exclusive talent of Michael to Admire the  
Nature, to perceive every nuance of lights and shadows, to juxtapose them, to marry them,
and with a limited color palette to create such rich symphony of lights for us, so we can also
see the blessing of the nature through Michael's Garden of Lights.  
We have a new winner! Michael Schuh is a finalist at the world wide competition of
International Artist! Congratulation, Michael, we are proud of you! Go for the next
competition, I am very confident you will win again! Click on the name, and read more at
Michael's website.

Soaring New Heights
Since I've got this new picture, I cannot stop wondering how come this painting is
so simple, and at the same time so breathtaking!? They are for sure many
answers, but  Number 1 is  - it  donates happiness. Thank you, Elayne, that is
what Art is all about: to say
"YES" to this lovely Earth and us - To Be, and enjoy life! To Be, no or.

The classical realism is back in America!? Maybe it is time for all human beings to
step back, and see the whole picture of the beautiful world, which is given to us - no
fragments, no broken strokes here and there, no destructions, no ruins, no particles,
but harmony, rhythm, and rules. The mission of Art always has been to take the lost
humanity back on the Path of Life. Now, please invite the Silence in your mind, and
take your time to look at this Masterpiece - it doesn't need any words - it will be in the
treasury of timeless Art, because it has the great idea of Unity and Creation, we all
need today. Thank you for sharing, Anna Rose, and good luck, young lady!  
Take me with you in the old times, in the great ocean, with all winds
around, among the huge waves, and under God's lights, only... "Take me
with You". The Russian painter Ivanenko is an artist-poet. He marries the
gigantic power of seas and oceans with marvelous beauty, love, dreams
and adventure. Forget about concrete, user names, traffic, passwords,
and without speed limit go to the poetic source of reverie - Ivanenko's art.
His painting technique deserves a bow!
