Art is a visual language.

Its aim: to communicate.  BEYONDWORDS explores how artists combine images and words to produce thoughts and feelings not generated by either alone. There is a space between the two that offers possibilities and inspiration to the artist where words are a catalyst for visual expression.

This painting was created over a three day period. Each day I worked about 4-6 hours on it. Using only Paynes Grey (and a little off white) I created a simple image , a comfortable image. Check out photos below and share them with other folks that might like this kind of stuff.
