I think you can find beauty anywhere …. I Live in a tourist area , but always cognizant that there are little pockets / places to find interesting artistic opportunities / I did this with my very humble Canon camera A70 & no photoshop program , and respect and present right out of the camera , and some post artistic editing , I believe both are wonderful and both have meaning & substance I hope you enjoy my artwork Rick*

Featured in First Things Group / and Lets Pay Homage I Do a Painting on occasion of Artists that have deeply touched & influenced me … this is my version .. I rendered in acrylic Its subtly different ..with much love to Van Gogh ~ who the world rejected in his time, & truly did not understand at all .. only a few did .. I Quote from Don MC Clean’s song Starry Starry night / Starry, starry night. / Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, Swirling clouds in violet haze, / Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue. / Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain, / Weathered faces lined in pain, / Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand. / For they could not love you, / But still your love was true. / And when no hope was left in sight / On that starry, starry night, / You took your life, as lovers often do. / But I could have told you, Vincent, / This world was never meant for one / As beautiful as you. ......

Now I understand what you tried to say to me, / How you suffered for your sanity, / How you tried to set them free. / They would not listen, they did not know how. / Perhaps they’ll listen now. Starry, starry night. / Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, / Swirling clouds in violet haze, / Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue. / Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain, / Weathered faces lined in pain, / Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand. Now I understand what you tried to say to me, / How you suffered for your sanity, / How you tried to set them free. / They would not listen, they did not know how. / Perhaps they’ll listen now. For they could not love you, / But still your love was true. / And when no hope was left in sight / On that starry, starry night, / You took your life, as lovers often do. / But I could have told you, Vincent, / This world was never meant for one / As beautiful as you. Starry, starry night. / Portraits hung in empty halls, / Frameless head on nameless walls, / With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget. / Like the strangers that you’ve met, / The ragged men in the ragged clothes, / The silver thorn of bloody rose, / Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. Now I think I know what you tried to say to me, / How you suffered for your sanity, / How you tried to set them free. / They would not listen, they’re not listening still. / Perhaps they never will...

Your comments very welcomed and respected / enlarge for best viewing I Did this in Both Quebec & Then home in states … combining my images , the message simple & clear ! Christ is risen & active & God says this draw near to Him & He will draw near to you.. the world right now is under much confusion chaos much violence hatred in many places & we can see all the answers are not all in man , but if we humble ourselves & let His peace reign in us guide us & ask for his wisdom then there real hope , peace and abundant love ... Yes the God of all Peace .. true peace is there for you… John 14:1 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me ! and then in Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus ! Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful ! / / / done with my Canon A 70 & Kodak Z1285 Rick ><>

As I was walking down the street one day…. Click the Live music included on right below the description song from Chicago ..This is a scene I did in Cape May , and the song from Chicago came into my mind… but also going even deeper… think about it, when people make plans a year out , 2 years , 6 months etc. .. how do we know the time we have allotted ? to me God numbers our days.. and everyday is a precious gift , so naturally we can think on this theme on many levels I hope you enjoy my work, and find it stimulating making us think .. done with my Kodak Z1285 Rick here is the song ” Does Anybody really know what time it is / Chicago playing the song*
