Acrylic on Canvas Board…

I did this a few years ago and it was stolen from the gallery it was in, so if you see this, call 911…lol

I am giving away FREE copies of my book ‘Creative Expression’ (inspirational teachings coupled with my art) now at www.cherieroedirksen.com — I would love to see you there…

So much is taken for granted on a daily basis and I want to bring to the forefront colour, vibrancy, frequency, pensiveness, wonder, reflection, action and energy through my passions.

My art is how I interpret the world around me, it is how I see this life – a palette of unbelievable colours and a sea of energy. The potential every living thing has and the knowledge that everything is a manifestation of a Divine essence is, in itself, pure magic.

    Stolen?? seriously?? How do you interpret that — I loved it but didn’t have enough money to pay for it? I love it enough to want it but not enough to pay the artist for it?? Well anyway it’s a fine piece of work!

  • Lol…thats the way it goes, I suppose, I actually had about 4 pieces stolen that day so they must have really not cared much about paying the artist. The good news was that the galleries insurance paid out about 2/3’s of the value, so all was not lost, I guess…thanks for the comment!
