A Study of a Maxfield Parrish Painting

 A study of the painting, Aquamarine, by Maxfield Parrish.

For the fans of Parrish, I began this study to learn how to create the glowing intensity of his works.

My study was created in acrylic paint. A larger work will follow, created in oil.

As an artist I seek balance in my life. As a healer, I use healing in my art process.

As an artist and healer, I address the healing of our planet. I try to approach Climate Change, and our damaged environment, more as a spiritual issue. First, we must heal ourselves, and by doing so we will become aware of the reality of the global stress that humanity has caused.
My paintings are often bought by healing organizations and individuals. "Golden Falls", was a corporate purchase by Kaweah Delta Medical Center, Visalia, California. They have bought several of my paintings. 
Please promote self-healing by visiting beautiful sites in nature. This artwork was inspired by a small waterfall in Stanislaus National Forest. The trail to the falls was a delight, each flower will delight and encourage you, and the sounds of the forest, and stream, will lead you back to your true self.
