I always appreciate your insights. I have been relatively wordless this week. What's going on in Minnesota -- and the rest of the U.S. -- is infuriating and sad. And I long for the day when there is peace within the country and with other countries.
Thank you so much, Nancy, for always being so supportive of my art. As we all know, our country is experiencing a crisis, and, frankly, this week, I felt word paralysis. Working on this painting alleviated some of the stress, but as you know, we as a nation are in a huge, serious world of hurt.
The bridge has become a symbol for me. I hope and pray for a new administration, for peace, and for fair future elections.
Oh Beth--sometimes only a picture can say everything we've been feeling, and more! This is truly a perfect moment to share your incredible painting with us--and how much we all need to have a bridge like this to crossover--a bridge that crosses over into sublime peace and dignity. This is where I want my attention to be right now--on beauty--your great legacy and gift to all of us Beth. Thank you for helping all of us to travel into a space of sublime divinity--a place so necessary for us today
You have put this so well, dear friend. I agree that this is the place where so many of us need to be at this moment. I always have enjoyed seeing bridges, especially those in New York City, though I cannot remember the name of this particular bridge.
I am so touched that you say my art is a "great legacy and a gift to all of us." Wow. I think art has given me so much joy, so I love it when viewers say they enjoy my work. As you might have surmised, this is still in the draft stage. :)
You've made great progress in this painting, and what a great title for your post. It's so wonderful that you are able to express yourself so well in your art, without any explanation whatsoever.
I appreciate you, Stephanie. Yes, your interpretation of the painting is spot-on. This week, I just didn't have the words to express what I could express with my paints.
Sometimes this is exactly what’s needed Beth. Thank you for trusting the visual language here; it invites a slower, deeper kind of noticing.
Hi Marie,
I always appreciate your insights. I have been relatively wordless this week. What's going on in Minnesota -- and the rest of the U.S. -- is infuriating and sad. And I long for the day when there is peace within the country and with other countries.
I love the disappearing road . . .
Thank you for your comment, Cheryl. I like it too!
Hi Beth,
Stunning. Powerful. I'm in awe of your beautiful painting and its message.
Thank you for making such a moving statement with no words at all. x

Thank you so much, Nancy! I was understandably at a loss for words this week, so I let my brushes do the talking for me.
I always appreciate your support. :)
Wonderful Beth! My thought from your image: Stay strong, there is a path through it all.
Yes, Susan! I love your interpretation. As we both know, art is such a great expressive force! And, yes, we have to stay strong.
This image is striking because it leaves so much to the imagination, we have no idea where we are going. I love it.
Thank you so much for your comment, Alene! And, yes, I agree that much is left to the imagination.
"A picture is worth a thousand words."
You said it all, Beth. You said it all in this painting. We so need to bridge the gap -- a bridge from violence to peace -- from fear to love -- .
Thank you. This is beautiful.
I appreciate you, Stephanie. Yes, your interpretation of the painting is spot-on. This week, I just didn't have the words to express what I could express with my paints.
Love this, Beth!
Thank you so much, Rea! I appreciate this.
