Project description: I was looking for inspiration, as I was rather stalled in my painting. I was out walking with the dog in the fall and spotted something blue out of the corner of my eye. Curious, I investigated and saw a perfect Blue Jay feather just lying there amongst fallen leaves and hickory nuts that laid there. Instant inspiration! I took some photos and painted from them in my studio, creating one of my favorite watercolor paintings I have ever done.

Project description: In the depths of the Black Ocean, there are creatures of all manner of horrific appearance. The merwoman takes the man down to the deep to show him what awaits should he venture down too far. As a particularly cruel-looking eel-dragon-thing looms above him, the man nearly panics, but the woman holds him, keeping her loving calm. For she knows that if they remain calm and leave the creature alone, it will ignore them, but if they give in to the fear, then it will attack, and they might not be able to escape to the surface again. (paragraph) When walking the darker path, one can sometimes become distracted by the evil things that lurk along the way, somehow attracted to the darker energy, feeding on it. Evil things are defined by fear, anger, hate, and suffering, whether you intentionally cause them for others or heap them upon yourself. It is these things that cause so many people to confuse the "dark" with the "bad", and to avoid the darkness at all cost. Some people, when walking the dark path, give in to these evils, lashing out at those around them, or driving themselves into depression. I call this being ridden by the dark. But one must instead be willing to walk on through the dark and be aware that the evil is there, but learn not to give into it. The most balanced of people have learned how to ride the darkness, instead of being ridden, and they can use their anger or intimidation to achieve their goals, and then let it go completely and walk on with their life. 32"x48" acrylic on masonite

Project description: Silver Creek Canyon By Michael M. Michaelson MMM A 3.25’ X 5.25’ framed canvas, an Acrylic Landscape Scene of soft but striking beauty. Again, this blind artist captures perception, created with a very imaginative perception of cascading falls flowing into a deep canyon which wonders off into the distant views of beautiful green valleys of the Cascades and merging skies. Perspective seems to be the mark of Michaels imagination. This vibrant acrylic work reaches out beyond the norm and will touch every viewer with a vastness and yet with more than enough reality and making you wish you were there. This naturalistic landscape is set off with one of Michaels simple hand made frames, edged within by a cream colored insert made to really set this painting off. Again, the work is a conversation piece alone but when it is known that a blind artist created this unique scene from memories past, all conversation turns to wonderment. $600 Plus $100 for Shipping and Handling within US.
