A painting can be a puzzle. A puzzle can be a painting!

I had a chance to talk with the artist, Lordstone Art, and let me share what he said:

Today we use computers, internet, and cell phones with a touch of our finger tip. The technology we have should have made life easier for us. Instead, it's the other way around. Life now day has so much more stress compared to 30 years ago when we didn’t have the technology like we have today.

That is why at the end of the day we all try to find a place to escape. A place you call you own to relax, to find peace, and to relieve stress so that tomorrow you can start again, one day at a time. Life is like a puzzle - piece by piece we put our life together, one piece at a time. Sometimes we try to find a piece to fill in a certain space which makes it more difficult for another piece to fill in the next space. But sometimes it can go smoothly and more enjoyable.

That is where I get the idea - "painting of puzzles". If you look at a paint of puzzle subject - he, she, or it comes out from the puzzles just like out coming of life, trying to escape to another place that we call our own. If you look every painting, the puzzles are never finished just like our life. God is not finish with us until we leave this world. But if we slow down and try to enjoy each piece we complete, we can enjoy life so much more and that will put a smile on us. That is why I try to create a painting to be hanged on your wall; and if every time you look at it, it puts a smile on you, then I know I paint a right subject.

I have now a deeper appreciation of this artist's works.
