Tribute to Nikola Tesla

Inventor Electrical Engineer Mechanical Engineer Futurist and Genius

This Tribute to Nikola Tesla could never do this Brilliant Man Justice.

I have a tendency to study things untill I can't find any more resources.  This Tribute to Nikola Tesla was painted after almost 2 years of vigorous research.  I enjoyed every moment of it such a mysterious and Brilliant Man.

From his struggles to his success this man was an interesting character.  The stories of he and Edison show quite a rivalry.  The father of AC Alternating Current saw things differently.  With around 300 patents Tesla was a creative genius.  Without Nikola Tesla we may have never had our Smart Phones or Radio Controlled toys and devices. His leading research and experiments with wireless power allowed him to create the first wireless remote controlled boat.  Spectators thought it was a scam he was so far beyond his time.

The Wardenclyffe Tower project while never completed due to debt aimed to provide free energy for the world.  His sketches and drawings many made into patents included wonderous flying machines.

This painting includes many of my favorite patents and drawings of his as well as a depiction of his famous Tower.  The perspective is looking thru a plasma ball another fine invention of Tesla.

I truly apologize for the lack of quality of the picture of this Tribute to Nikola Tesla painting I used lots of metallics and the light just loves playing tricks with it.  I hope one day you can see it in person and walk around it as it changes colors with the light.

Thank you and have a Blessed Day

Beautiful Day

Beautiful Day

Beautiful Day if you can't have it Create it.

This lovely view is inspired by a little town in Colorado nestled in the mountains with one of the prettiest views I have ever seen. We had driven miles and miles of winding mountain roads to stumble upon this spectacular small town.  It had one main street with little shops a few cute little houses and farms all around. 

I painted this many years later it was a rainy spell that had lasted longer than usual. The reflections in the water are symbolic of memories. I was still getting used to my new life as a widow remembering the good times like this trip.  Rainy days tend to make me a little blue and with so many in a row during such a dark time I needed to do something to cheer myself up. 

The mountains were made using very special gifts a painters knife and brushes I had just been given with the art supplies my step-father Jim had left me after he too passed from cancer a short time before I painted this.  I have fond memories of discussing painting with him and seeing his new creations during my holiday visits.

Painting this Beautiful Day of one of my favorite places helped me get thru tough times. The Autumn colors are inspired by my wonderful daughter Autumn Bliss a reminder no matter the challenges life throws my way I have Blessings to be thankful for. 

Life certainly has its ups and downs. If you find yourself feeling a little blue I hope this beautiful image will bring you happiness and remind you to reflect upon the good memories life has blessed us with.

Thank you and have a Blessed Day
