<p style="text-align: center;">Blue/Green water always has the effect of pulling me down toward it &#8211; especially if it&#8217;s a hot day and I have the urge to peel off and jump in!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This painting &#8211; painted a few years ago shows the effect of the &#8216;down and into&#8217; pull that I experience at such times. Fortunately the horizon of the picture also pulls the viewer back up again toward the sky.<br />
Much of my work has this dual perspective &#8211; and occasionally viewers are disturbed. But generally this is not the case, and they see where I&#8217;m coming from.<br />
Hopefully you do too!<br />
Have a great day,<br />
Steve<br />

<div id="attachment_380" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 309px"><a href="http://steveslimm.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Friendship_Woods_II.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-380 " title="Friendship Woods II by Steve Slimm" src="http://steveslimm.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Friendship_Woods_II-299x300.jpg" alt="Friendship Woods II by Steve Slimm" width="299" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Enter a magical Forest and imagine . . .</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">Imagination plays a great part in creating art like this. I usually begin with something I&#8217;ve seen &#8211; but before long the painting transforms itself into a place of dreams.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I just can&#8217;t help this happening &#8211; unless I really try hard. But even then it never works fully!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The painting shown here was originally begun in a place called Friendship Woods &#8211; not far from where I live in Cornwall, UK. But the trees have somehow grown taller, and the whole woodland taken on the enchantment of a magical forest!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Anyway I don&#8217;t worry about it these days, as you can always take a photograph if you really want reality. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Have a great day,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Steve</p>
