    I’ve been a writer all my life and only came to visual arts, in my case photography, in the last couple of years. Like you, I’m glad to have encountered a new form of artistic expression after several decades on earth, and I feel that all I’ve done before has allowed me to hit this new ground running. Your “Winter Refelections” indicates that you’ve hit the visual arts running at the speed of light.

  • Mikki Alhart replied

    Thank you, thank you Peter. What a wonderful warm welcome to this new site. You made me laugh out loud when you said I hit the ground running in visual arts. Since I have jokingly considered myself an aspiring granda moses, running at the speed of light is a totally hilarious vision. Thank you again!

    Hi, I know the storm…I live there. This style of paining reminds me of traditional Japanese painting.

  • Mikki Alhart replied

    I am so sorry I just now happened to see your comment. Thank you so very much. I looked at your photography, WOW I love Sea Monster and Cherry Cove Pier. I am impressed how your work indicates you are obviously in the right place at just the right time. Have you always lived your life in such a graced manner? :)

    Beautiful work, I love this!

  • Mikki Alhart replied

    Thank you Pat. Your work is breath taking. I can see why local magazines would buy your work, it is truly georgeous. The Blacksmiths Shop is superb.

    Stunning painting, Mikki. Gorgeous colours and subject.

  • Mikki Alhart replied

    Thank you so much Anne. Your clothing art is stunning. I love, love it. How very talented and creative you are.

  • Kevin McGeeney

    Kevin McGeeney

    beautiful!

  • Mikki Alhart replied

    Thank you Kevin. I am amazed at the color your are able to capture with water colors. It revolutionizes my impression that water colors are softer and less vivid than acrylic or oil. You’ve made a new believer out of me. :)

  • Patrick Coombes

    Patrick Coombes

    gorgeous painting, really intriguing!

  • Mikki Alhart replied

    Thank you Patrick. I am very familiar with the culture you are capturing through your work. I was a drug and alcohol counselor for 25 years and thousands of clients later I think I understand the breath and soul of long time participants. A picture is worth a thousand words and you say it clearly and openly with your art. Good Job.

    Nice image, those trees are full of life and appear like human beings telling something about them through the unspoken silence…

  • Mikki Alhart replied

    Thank you so much. I love your work as well. Your painting Christmas Tree what a creative bright message. The pink and red is really eye catching. I agree with what you see in winter reflection, something about the scene invites you to listen. Thank you again.

    very beautiful painting, but i have to say i’ve done a painting similar(almost exact about 8 yrs. ago) from watching bob ross! the painting is still very nice even though!

  • Mikki Alhart

    Mikki Alhart

    You are probably right Diana, as you know being a self taught artist yourself, we glean, digest, research, study, and study some more. I love the process, because it’s like we stock our own private library in our sub-conscious and then it plays out it’s vision like being in Portland during a blizzard. I reviewed your art and we have alot in common as to images that ignite our passions.

  • Mikki Alhart replied

    Thank you, you are so kind and gracious. I have a special regard and admiration for your work as my mother was an artist who loved to paint her Arabian horses. She has been gone now over 25 years but I like to imagine she is in heaven being an artistic muze to artistis like yourself. :)

    what a lovely restfull picture. I am into reiki and that would be brilliant in a healing room. or to just look at and meditate. keep up the good work.

  • Mikki Alhart

    Mikki Alhart

    Thank you Moira, how wonderful I have always aspired to reiki and have come to totally wish I knew then what I know now. Possibly it was working in the mental health field for 25 years that taught me what I know now. Do you understand my drift? Guess what, this picture was just purchased (non-exclusive rights) by Hay House, are you familiar with Louise Hays, Wayne Dryer and others? Anyway, it is going to be on a set of oracle divination cards for Stephen Farmer a Shamanic healer. You both see the same thing in this painting. How exciting
