FREE vintage image

This vintage image from 1926 is from my personal collection. My husbands great-grandfather had a photography studio from the late 1890's through about 1942 located in Oxford,Ms and Holly Springs, Ms during those years. While going through his grandmother's estate in 1997 I found several old boxes of photos of unknown people. Some were studio photos others just snapshots. Naturally I save them..I have no idea who any of these people are except this first one..as it is signed on the back who this young girl was. Maybe you will enjoy using it in your collage,mixed media or altered art.

Synchronicity is off to Paris

I just sold this painting to someone in Paris..I'm always amazed when someone who lives in the art capital of the world buys my art. This painting is "Synchronicity", 24" x36" and painted with painting knives and drips straight from the tube..no brushes were used.

"Synchronicity can be defined as a non-causal but meaningful relationship between events or states of mind within the human psyche and events in the outside world. More simply, we could call it the experiences of "meaningful coincidence". We have all had experiences that we intuitively recognize as meaningful, though we would be hard pressed to explain them in rational terms. In fact, these "meaningful coincidences" are not coincidences at all but spontaneous realizations of the underlying interconnectedness of all things within the Universe." Laurence Boldt - Tao of Abundance

As Heraclitus put it, "The unseen design of things is more harmonious than the seen."

About this painting/illustration print : I am a dachshund lover and owner.See the image of the real dachshund and that is my own Little Big Man ..we call him Little Man for short. He is 5 years old, a short haired red miniature and a joy to be owned by. The photo of Little Man shown is not the one used as reference for the painting..it's just one I particularly like.
