I found these sunflowers and had to paint them.

About Me
- Anne Darby Parker
- I am a native of Charleston , South Carolina. My early artistic expression was through the lens of a camera where it was a passion to capture the unique expressions of the human spirit. That passion is still alive , but through paint brush,ink, and oils. I am most inspired when painting from observation of life and nature. I am in my third year at The Art Academy University online MFA. My classes have challenged and inspired me more than I ever imagined. I am in my fifth year of being a member of The Charleston Artist Collective online gallery. It has been a great experience to be with a local group of artist who stretch with the monthly themes all the while giving back to our community a percentage of our sales. It is also a pleasure to be showing in a new gallery in Charlottesville, Va. with a talented group of artist from around the country.

Oh Anne, Your paintings are beautiful. You really are rising within yourself. Keep doing this. Your work is "transporting".
I found this quote from a spiritual person (from long ago) and it reminded me of your force in art, and what it is all about.
"For the most part, contemporary artists no longer seek
inspiration in the higher realms of consciousness. They amuse
themselves by manipulating words, sounds, colours and forms and
by creating all kinds of combinations. Because they demonstrate
a great deal of imagination and originality, people look and
listen, but they do not feel transported. And yet some of these
artists even claim to be mystics. Well, no, they have no real
spiritual criteria.
Those of you with an artistic vocation must be very clear about
one thing: before you create, you must strive to rise within
yourself into the purity and light, in order to ‘photograph’ or
‘record’ celestial realities. Only by doing so will you bring to
earth reflections of the harmony and intelligence of the world
above."
Anne, You've got it all. Go with it. Just let it go. R
