| I'm totally immersed in the | ||
| creative experience it's like | ||
| being transported to another place. For example when I'm painting palm trees, I can feel | ||
| the cool ocean breeze, the sand between my toes, hear the rhythmic crash of the | ||
| waves breaking on the beach and taste the salt of the sea air on my lips. The other great | ||
| thing about creating art is when people who’ve purchased your work return to tell you how | ||
| much they love it, how it enriches their lives or inspires them to be a more creative | ||
| person. Not everyone knows the joy that escaping into a piece of original art can provide. | ||
| I hope you are one of the lucky ones that do! | ||
