Fragile Eco Systems

"Out Island Beach"

Our Focus is on protecting our fragile eco systems around the world .....

This month finds me focused on helping in any way I can to support volunteers working to save the ocenas, reefs and beaches.

This painting "Out Island Beach" that was done on location in a pristine Environment which we all appreciate so much. The emotion of incredible peacefulness with pastel cloud formations and the smell of fresh breezes was overwhelming I was scouting this location for an outdoor painting workshop at a later date. I paint many studies en plein air in areas such as this.

My journey as an artist as many of you know is to preserve these beautiful special places on the earth for future generations to enjoy. Mahalo for helping…..

About O'Shields Fine Art

MIAMI, FLORIDA and CHARLOTTE, NC

Phyllis O'Shields is a popular lecturer, presenter and author.

Painting Global Wonders.. An Artists' Journey Creating a world of beauty filled with light, life and emotion, painting Seascapes and mostly Tropical subjects from around the world.

I am a world traveler painting as I go, a visual journey depicting a changing way of life, as ocean front disappears from our landscape.

My web sites are in the process of becoming an overview of 365 paintings of my Seascapes from around the world. This is a chronicle to preserve the changing of ocean views, the movement of life, and how the landscape under blue skies and the oceans is always in a state of change.

Trained in European Classical painting and drawing but my personal style has developed more into contemporary impressionism with the use of bright tropical colours.

I've discovered that all art forms that touch the viewers hearts are fundamentally the same; they are about revealing truth and beauty, they demand the utmost in time, attention, and must be grounded in excellent technique.

My mission is to paint daily and create paintings that are full of colour, joy and light.

ABOUT OUR WORKSHOPS

I hold workshops teaching participants to nourish each of the five senses through mind/body awareness. Experiencing Art in all forms improves healthy behaviors, quality of life, mental and emotional well being.

Next month in this Newsletter I will begin a series sharing information about the five senses and how to concentrate your efforts on accessing this wonderful sense in your daily life. My paintings are in private & corporate collections worldwide.
