I got a little note from the Universe today which read, “You simply cannot know, Sharon What will make others happy. But you can always know for yourself. Go for it….The Universe” That’s my reminder. I have been working really hard painting custom work for others and creating pieces for my show that I’ve neglected what makes me happiest. Like the picture above, I need some time for myself walking along my own creative beach. There is such a freedom in just letting the energy from your soul release itself onto whatever canvas you choose. So I am off to do just that today. 🙂

When I take photographs, I like to either find a story or have the piece ask a question. Palm trees are everywhere in Florida and there is no great mystery to them. But this one was all alone and one of the tallest palms I have ever seen. High into the clouds….what is happening below? There could be lovers sitting and chatting. A dog could be asleep. A bike could be propped up against it’s trunk. It could be right on the ocean or in a parking lot. The vibrant blue sky reveals nothing. What story do you see?

I was recently helping someone on Houzz decorate their “coastal” living space when they asked me if I had anything with palm trees. I had to think about it, but was surprised to realize that out of all of the tropical pieces I have in my portfolio, not a one of them had palm trees. I live in the tropics and palm trees are everywhere, but somehow I have not featured them in my art. I’ve got beaches, sunsets over the water, tropical flowers, fish, crabs, boats, etc. Jimmy buffet wouldn’t be happy. So today I have listed my first piece of artwork featuring palm trees. The graceful beauties of the tropics…enjoy!
