FOR A SHORT TIME ONLY THIS IMAGE IS PART OF OUR "JUMP INTO SPRING" PROMOTION AND IS NOW DISCOUNTED 20%. This image is "EDEN WITH LATTICE" and it is a Limited Edition Giclee' that is reproduced in full size of approximately 22" x 30".

This image is exceptionally BRIGHT in color and is quite contemporary feeling.

In the past, I have framed Eden With Lattice with triple mats that pick up whatever colors I want to emphasize and then framed it in a gold frame....this made it acceptable for a traditional setting such as Ethan Allen furniture.

This image could also be more contemporary if framed for your particular setting.

ARTIST STATEMENT (Beverly Anne)

The process of painting for an artist differs from person to person. For me, the process begins as an inspiration, a yearning, a desire to "create" that will not leave until I begin....

Sometimes all I receive is the name of the painting and then, as the actual process of water, paint or ink is begun, the image begins to take shape....Since I am not capable of performing this task myself, I listen to those small voices that say......"put a feather here, add a bird there, do this or do that"....

The emotion necessary for each painting is also given to me...the colors are chosen...and the results are totally out of my control.  When I "let go" and allows this to happen, without adding the 'me' to the painting, then I am excited and amazed because, once again, I have allowed my Spirit to create.

I truly believe the following quotes by Frederick Franck in "The Zen of Seeing and Drawing"...

"the good works I do are hardly mine"

"there is no split between a man's being, his art and what one might call his religion"

"ANY work of art motivated or tainted by the slightest consideration of competitiveness, money or sensation is automatically devoid of ZEN"

I Believe that ZEN is the SPIRIT at work....Zen is allowing the Spirit to assist in letting go of the 'me' and letting the soul do what it was meant to do.

Zen is doing "what makes your heart sing".

I offer my work to you as a sharing of my spirit.

Beverly Anne
