This painting is a tribute to my 3 kids who have all moved away to college within the last year. I am retiring the little red wagon and I filled it with flowers to symbolize a new beginning.

Re: Christen Loria -- Leaping lizards! With your fascination for geckos, I hope you entered Bradenton's Geckofest, the bi-annual event in which brightly-painted 6-foot geckos decorated city buildings, raise thousands of dollars for local schools and arts organizations, and pay beaucoup bucks to the artists. The 2010 contest closed on Thursday, August 13, 2009, but it will roll around again in another couple of years if you missed this one. Check out http://www.bradentongeckofest.org/ for more info.

I believe in the interconnectedness of physical, mental and spiritual. My Art reflects this deep and passionate view on life, and my unending desire to better the World, bridge the realities and heal the past. I believe that Wisdom, Healing, and Love are inevitable ingredients of true Art. My intention is to integrate Expressive Art and Art of Healing. As a healer and an artist I am always looking for ways to communicate the Truth, often on levels not yet understood… I want to share with you this gift of beauty, magic and joy of every unique moment of Here & Now…

This is one of a series of "Past Life Portraits". I do an in depth consultaion with my subject to determine their past life, then extensive historical research for background and accessories. When the client is happy with my pencil sketches, I render the portrait in oil on panel. The result is a heirloom quality, poetic rendition of an earlier life. See more portraits on my WQ page.

Meet "Molly" - 14x18 Oil on Stretched canvas. Isn't she beautiful! Art is my true passion, and animals are my favorite subjects. The eyes convey so much about the pet. The loyalty, gratitude and unconditional love just shine through. To be able to capture the pet's spirit is extremely rewarding.

"NO BODY'S PERFECT" is the name of this 27 inch Raku sculpture. It is saying that no matter the dents, dimples, or disfigurements on the outside, our inside is smooth and shiny, and that is where we need to go to find self-acceptance. http://guidetotransformation.com/

"Wistful Mermaid"

Original colored pencil rendering and poem by Carole Stevens Bibisi
www.artharmonycreations.com">www.artharmonycreations.com
Oh Wistful Mermaid, lady of folklore,
What are you wistfully longing for?
Will you kiss those frogs today?
Maybe you have, but won't say?

Fairy Tales begin, Once upon a time,
Oh mythical headspin, sweet, sublime.
Kissing frogs and handsome Princes'
The happily-ever-after convincers.

Oh lovely green-haired wistful one,
You've been dreaming in Rainbows since time begun.
Dear Wistful Mermaid, I believe in you,
I hope your Fairy Tales all come true.

Every morning I wake up to a flood of light coming into my living room. The image gives me such a feeling of comfort and gratitude, I just had to paint it. This is a 16x20 thickly painted oil.
