We purchased this painting in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor last year. It is painted by a talented urban contemporary artist named Larry Stevens. He autographed the picture as seen on the middle right of the painting. With what he calls “Conversational Art”, everyone of his paintings has a particular meaning and often relates to his urban surroundings, life experiences and daring imagination - this one refers to how one’s inner soul should be in Perfect Harmony with their surroundings just like the synchronization of music.
On one occasion at the in-laws, Miles couldn’t be found. After some frantic searching - we found him atop Mount Refrigerator looking down at us. How he managed to get up there is beyond me.
Nearly Wordless Wednesday… These paintings are close to my heart because they were painted by my mom who is an artist specializing in Chinese painting.
Above: A foggy mountain scene with a water fall.
Above (L to R): An eagle swooping and a fish/ plant water scene.
Above: This is my favourite. It is a huge 10 x 3 foot painting of a foggy mountain top scene. It is so big that it had to be painted in 4 sections (of approx. 3 x 2.5 feet each) and meticulously combined.
Amazing what a diverse audience The Foo Logs has ;-)! Miles (my cat) insisted on being in all the pictures - can you spot him and another “hidden” object”? i.e. An apple for J (my wife) who is a teacher. (Thanks to Stik for doing the cartoons for me)
