Sometimes I just need to take my oils and allow them to have fun. Do you know what I mean? It is like going on vacation. Maybe a fishing trip or something like that. Just to relax. Just to have fun. Just to paint. Allowing my oils and my brushes to travel onto the canvas. It is like exploring with my little cherub friends some favorite fishing spots near a lighthouse by my home. I live, on the shores of Lake Erie. My home is about 50 meters from the lake. There are many lighthouses to be seen near me. And many guardian angels helping fishermen to catch fish and making sure their boat trip remains a safe one. If you live by the water you know how dangerous it can be. Sometimes a little help is needed to make it back home to port. So here is a little painting for all you fishermen and sailors out there that know that our guardian angels make great fishermen and sailors too. visionary imagist "Joey"

Joey, this is wonderful work. What wonderful imagery and story!!!!

Joey, this is really a nice vision! Actually I'd love to live in that floating house - if there were a chance for walking outside with my dog! :-) Beautiful painting!

Artist Reply: Titta: This lighthouse is not too far from where I live. I live on the shore of a large lake. My dog, a Labrador retriever, would swim along side with me all the time. He is no longer with me but is in "doggie" heaven. So tell "Flea" that he or she is more than welcomed to swim in the lake. Thanks for the nice comments. Stop back soon.

This is really beautiful, happy painting! I live close to Cape Cod and always want to paint the beautiful places we get to see, but I just can't paint water......I know my husband must have one of these cheerubs sitting right on his shoulder.....and I hope I have one with me tomorrow....going fishing! Your beautiful artwork always makes me smile!

Artist Reply: Renata: I hope your fishing trip went well. I live right on the water's edge. Lake Erie in my front yard and a nature preserve in my backyard. I've been to Mass. many times. Great and wonderful country. Thanks!!

Bueatiful work,I feel that I am on a boat,looking at this.Even when you are relaxing doing art ,your still thinking of ways to help people,by sending angels out into the water to protect sailors.

Artist Reply: Maria: Our angels are never far from us. But I'm sure that you already know that. Thank you for sharing with me.
