Hibiscus for Peace

Hibiscus for Peace is a painting I made for a lady friend who woke me up from an uncanny slumber that makes me slightly ashamed. We are artist to not only bring joy to the eyes and hearts of others but to have an audience to speak to. To those who look at my work, comment if you wish, but God made the subject I paint and photograph, so thank your God and while your thanking him, pray for peace for a moment. I will take this as a monumental compliment to me. I am praying now as I write this to protect those who are in harms way and to stop this senseless slaughter. Creativity is...seeing somthing that doesn't exist already. You need to find out how you can bring it into being and that way be a playmate with God. MICHELLE SHEA my gratitude miguel

Delightful image

Artist Reply: Renata, my most humble thanks from such an accomplished artist. You are so kind. I find that Hibiscus are luscious and if you soften the edges a bit. They become like tiny homes for the spirits. miguel

Pretty - love the soft focus - color usage :0)

Artist Reply: Thenk for your kind words. It sounds like you know what you are talking about with the camera. Talk to me sometime when you are just sitting at the computer and we will trade war stories. Thank you sincerely, miguel

Spectacular, golden blushes of floral here...so softly, yet brilliantly they contrast with the green in eye popping exhibition! Gorgeous! So warm and wise they offer themselves.
