Artist’s Purpose
Artist’s Purpose
E-mail me at : barbaramcevoyartist@me.com
We change with the times and our experiences.
I became a painter because I loved colors, shapes, designs.
but as I painted I learned to see more, feel more,
live and love more.
As a plein air painter
I am frustrated, challenged and enamored
of the changes constantly taking place
Not just the large scale cycles of earth and moon
sun and water,
Not just the seasonal and daily cycles,
but the constant swing and sway of all life’s facets.
My reasons and purposes for painting
are as changing as the weather
We can’t halt the world,
or keep our life as it is,
good or bad,
But maybe, just maybe, as an artist
I can capture some of that fleeting wonder,
and help others towards an appreciation
of the beauty around us.
We don’t need great adventures
to step into nature.
Sometimes we need only look out our windows
in any season
or
go mindfully
down a path
to see that,
as the Navajo prayer says,
We walk in beauty,
Beauty surrounds us.
Life is wonderful
Won’t you join me
in this ever changing adventure?
