Anniversary Bouquet

-

"The Anniversary Bouquet." This original still life, measuring 16x22 inches and rendered in watercolor, is a testament to the versatility of the medium. It resonates deeply with personal significance, showcasing my commitment to honing my craft and inviting you to appreciate the depth of my work.

In this piece, I have invited viewers into a vibrant floral arrangement that bursts with life, exuding energy and vitality. The bouquet features a harmonious blend of roses, lilacs, and various other blossoms, each meticulously painted to convey a dazzling spectrum of colors—delicate pinks, warm oranges, and soft lavenders—all vying for attention yet working beautifully. The flowers are displayed in a green vase, adorned with intricate designs that add charm and elegance. I chose a surface beneath the vase that subtly reflects the colors of the blooms, enhancing the unity and balance of the composition.

One of my favorite elements of this artwork is the dramatic interplay of light and shadow. I imagined the light source streaming in from the left, illuminating the rich textures and vivid colors of the flowers and vase. The deep, dark background contrasts beautifully with the bouquet, ensuring it remains the piece's focal point. This dynamic contrast invites viewers to linger, explore, and appreciate every nuanced detail I've lovingly captured.

Inspired by a heartfelt anniversary gift, this painting is more than just a representation of floral beauty; it encapsulates love and cherished memories. The juxtaposition of bright light against dark wallpaper adds depth and complexity, making "The Anniversary Bouquet" a truly inspirational and uplifting addition to any space. I hope it resonates with you as much as it does with me.

The Story of Kozell Boren: How One Man Changed the American Economy

The Whole Market and the Hole in the Market Shel St Clair Some 50 years ago a man by the name of Kozy Boren had a vision; he saw a hole in a market, and he found it in an industry that exists solely to make its own customers money.  I point this out because both of these are unique and Kozy touched each in a manner that affected thousands of people individually and the entire U.S. Economy.  Rarely does a man find himself in the exact position on the earth to understand the alignment of the stars and see into the future.  However that club is not as exclusive as the one whose members are made up of those who did something about it and had a positively impact.  This is a truly special man.    In the U.S., the development and growth of small business is encouraged because of the way our economy is tied to the greater philosophy of individual freedom.  Small business is the American way.  This covers the entire spectrum of representative citize...
