There was an entire landscape through which they ran, grazed, strolled, stayed together, and watched out for one another.

In the background, the mountains were protective, benevolent, a refuge in which they lived, totally oblivious to the existence of metropolises, cell phones, automobiles, and TV sets.

I send thanks to the buyer from Oregon who purchased a greeting card of

Oregon Coast Afterglow -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/oregon-coast-afterglow-steve-henderson.html?product=greeting-card

May the image upon the card take both you and the person to whom you send it to a place of rich, deep color and the unmistakable, sound of a soft, calming surf. Peace, to you and yours.

SteveHendersonFineArt, to Stoicism
@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

Peace is not something that any political party has shown, through history, it is interested in pursuing.

But individual people, wanting to live their lives with normalcy and a semblance of security, do value peace.

We look for it through silence, thought, meditation, and contemplation -- seeking it within our hearts first, and then passing it on in our day to day lives to others.

May the image take you to a place of joy and gladness, of good memories happily visited and re-visited.

SteveHendersonFineArt, to Dog
@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

The friendship of a dog is different from that of a human, but we can learn from them:

They're steadfast in the relationship, loyal, non-judgmental, and always ready to go out and do something fun. If we're not in the mood, they stay close by and simply grace us with their companionship.

The 10-12 years we have with them are memorable for us; I hope they are for them as well.

Grey skies are a necessary part of green growth.

Nobody wants their parade rained on, but the landscape welcomes it: the storms of springtime are harbinger to bright, sunny days ahead.

The new season's healing water from the sky tell the snows of winter, in no uncertain terms, that things are about to change.

Big sky, big land, big rocks -- Monument Valley on the Colorado Plateau presents a panorama of mighty buttes and majestic rock formations.

It's a solid, unbudging landscape that isn't going anywhere, anytime soon, yet at the same time it has a transcendent, ethereal quality, as if it would disappear into the mist if you turned your back or closed your eyes.

Electricity is a fantastic invention, and I certainly wouldn't want to go back to a life of candles and kerosene. But like any technology, it has its pitfalls, and one of them is that we forget what nature's night lights look like.

At the sea, under a full moon, the effect is magical.

The mountain looked imposing, daunting for the average person to cross over, go around, get past, but as with any challenge, it wasn't impossible.

It was a matter of time, determination, planning, skill, and the willingness to look into various options.

That's what life is -- a journey that takes us through valleys and to and past mountains.

After Harvest -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/after-harvest-steve-henderson.html

May the image take you to a sleepy day in the country, as well as give you that sense of satisfaction of finishing a job, and know that you have earned a time of rest.

SteveHendersonFineArt, to Quotes
@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

Getting where we want to go takes concentration and focus, because no path is as straight and easy as a bowling lane.

Concentration and focus require that we set aside the things that don't matter, siren calls of the tech, political and entertainment world that promise to take us places, but never actually do.

There's absolutely zero stress or hurry, both for the sailors on their crafts and for the person watching them (that would be you) from the rocky beach.

In the background, historic Polignano a Mare, Italy, invites you to visit when you are done strolling along the rocks, looking out to sea, and just . . . being.

May the image take you to a hillside filled with wildflowers, on a perfect sunny day in late spring -- and may you connect with that wild child within you who runs and jumps and dreams and plays.

The rich turquoise hue of this lake isn't "supposed" to be at such a high alpine location, because as everyone knows, turquoise is a color reserved for the tropics.

Except when it isn't. Nature never limits herself to what she is supposed to do, but does what she does. And on this day, she decided that she liked the color turquoise and was going to use it.

I like that attitude.

I send thanks to the buyer from Indiana who purchased a jigsaw puzzle of

I enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles because they give me a sense of peace and calm. May the puzzle bring you much pleasure and enjoyment, and may the image take you to a place of serenity and goodness.

It's a perfect day in sunny Italy as you clamber through the steep streets of Ostuni. Known for its whitewashed building surfaces and white stone architecture, the city reflects the sunlight, causing a bright day to seem even brighter.

And adding to the happy feeling are two community kitties, waiting to say hello as you pass by.

Given a choice of where we'd like to be, where is that place?

Rare, I believe, is the person who would choose a place of stress and anxiety, noise and tumult.

There is a reason we seek escape -- figurative and literal -- and no matter how often we're told that we should be happy with where we're told to be, our hearts seek out harmony, stability, calmness and peace.

"So, what are your plans for today?" they asked her.

"I'll be quite busy," she replied. "I have a major project that I'm sure will take me all afternoon to work on, maybe into the evening. But I know I most certainly won't be available for anything else."

Time. It's a gift that we rarely allow ourselves to use for ourselves.

It's easy to get in such a hurry that we don't notice the landscape around us -- which is boldly, loudly in a visual way, trying to get our attention.

On our life's road we can have the same experience. While we have ambitions and goals -- which is a good thing -- it can be easy to focus on them so strongly that we don't notice the landscape around us.

SteveHendersonFineArt, to story
@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

Representational paintings tell a story. I, as the artist, start the tale with an idea, a thought, a feeling that then, behind the easel, develops into the beginning of the story.

But it is the viewer who takes the next step and adds to, modifies, ripens and unfolds that story. And each viewer, being unique, tells a unique story.

All of us, every day, hear the words of many voices, many of them propounding to be experts, expressing concern over and advancing solutions to humanity's concerns.

Within us all is an inner voice, one that quietly says,

"Question all that you hear. Do not give your trust lightly and easily. Take your time."

Summer Breeze -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/summer-breeze-steve-henderson.html?product=canvas-print

May the image take you to a perfect summer day, one in which you have no obligations or anything written on a schedule, and you are free to dream . . .

SteveHendersonFineArt, to Quotes
@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

There are more than enough people out there who are ready, willing, eager, and just dying to tell you how your goals are unrealistic, your dreams are unreachable, and your hopes preposterous.

This is the time to listen to your dog, who believes in you. Why give time and attention to people who don't?
