Not For Sale
This painting was created for my daughter who requested a painting with a quote from the “Lord of the Rings,” one of our favorite stories. “All that glitters is not gold” is a metaphor and symbol for the many things that may attract us and/or distract us in life.

Gray values are inherent in nature, especially when light is diminished. Color becomes secondary and our eyes are slow to adjust to low light areas. It is here that I often perceive a dim intimation into the mystery of God. All grays in this work were generated through a mixture of white and the three primary colors.

Cutting remarks damage not only those to whom they are directed but also the person making them. A friend recently posted a statement, “Be kinder than you wish to be.” May we all live by recalling this thought.

Having walked by this old maple tree numerous times in a local cemetery, I began to be drawn into its facial characteristics. It was changing from year to year, and so, I decided to paint it, with some variations, before it was gone.
