Warren Bellows - Miniature Paintings Nature Meditations

Miniature Paintings: Nature Meditations

These miniatures are meditations on Nature and my love poems to the Northern California landscape. For the last five years I have been elevated by a sublime joy when viewing all the variations in texture, light, energy, shape and colors that make up the countryside where I live. These little paintings are encoded with composite memories of visual and emotional "snapshots" I have taken in my mind while living here. They are fantasy and yet they are just as real as romanticized memories of a lover's body and soul. Most of these works are sold. If interested in knowing the availablity of, or in purchasing a particular painting, please include the number and/or name of the piece and email the artist.

"For I have learned To look on nature, not as in the hour Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes The still, sad music of humanity, Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power To chasten and subdue. And I have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime Of something far more deeply interfused, Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, And the round ocean and the living air, And the blue sky, and in the mind of man. -- William Wordsworth
