'Surrender' Abstract Expressionist, Scandinavian artwork, black cream white base
Located in Lahti, FI
'Surrender'
We sometimes believe that holding on to something specific gives us safety. We believe that by gripping tight and forcing something to happen is the way to go, that if we force it hard enough, we’ll eventually make it happen. But what if it’s the opposite, what if we are the ones on the way of our success, our freedom, our happiness?
What would happen if you let go of certain situations and feelings and open up for something even better unfolding in your life? Letting go of that grip may feel unsafe, scary, frightening, but what if you do it anyway? Let go, surrender, take a deep breath.
You’re safe. You are loved. You are taken care of. You are trusting that whatever is meant for you, will be. Nobody can take it away from you. Let go so you can attract better situations, freedom, happiness.
Surrendering to the higher plan of the Universe does not mean giving up on your dreams. Instead, by trusting the higher realms you open yourself up for miracles, for something so transforming you may not even have had the courage to dream of.
Say it with me: ”I surrender to the higher plan of the Universe. I trust that my path is unfolding exactly as it should. Everything happens in divine timing. I am safe. I am loved. I am open for miracles, sudden breakthroughs, happiness. I am in love with life and everything it has for me. All is well. I am happy.”

Brick Wall (in Need of Repair), abstract geometric painting, grid
Located in New York, NY
Gouache and graphite on handmade paper. 12 x 24 inches unframed, 16.25 x 28.25 inches framed.
Artist Statement:
“As an artist, I find endless possibilities overwhelming and use self-imposed boundaries to focus my work. This often includes some combination of: a literal grid or graphite border, employment of barbecue skewers or wooden chopsticks in lieu of paintbrushes for mark making, use of a monochromatic or limited color palette, and a reliance on shape and pattern to tell a story. Limiting the elements at play adds a measure of gravity to each decision, and every detail about the paper, the viscosity of the paint, micro variations in hues, and even the sharpness of the point on a skewer matters.
I’ve found that the more restrictions I put in place when I paint, the freer my work has become, allowing a tension to form between the organic and prescribed. Rather than sketch before starting a new piece, I spend time with the paper and begin to visualize possibilities. From there, I can expand the work incrementally. Whether I’m working in an adapted form of pointillism, playing with opacity and hue, or building patterns through repeating shape, the work evolves in its own time. It is an intentionally open process of discovery that seeks to uncover the greatest potential of the basest elements we have at our disposal”. - Kate Snow

Sea Birds in Surf
Located in Wilton Manors, FL
Beautiful seascape painting by American artist, James Floyd Clymer (1893-1982). Seabirds, ca.1930. Watercolor and pencil on paper measures 14 x 20 inches. Signed lower margin.
SHIPS ROLLED. Matting removed.
James Floyd Clymer ( 1893-1982 ) known for his Regionalist style of land, sea and cityscapes, created paintings with an emphasis on color and form. His works possess a clear and simple style, easily understood by the masses.
Born in Perkasie Pennsylvania, 20 miles north of Philadelphia, Clymer was the
youngest of seven children. Losing his mother during childbirth, he was raised by his eldest sister. He attended Drexel University in Philadelphia, studying Art and Architecture and worked as an Architect in the years following World War I.
During this time, Clymer met the artist Gwenyth Waugh, daughter of the renowned marine painter, Frederick Judd Waugh. His thrust then changed from Architect to Artist. Together, the couple travelled to destinations such as Spain and Newfoundland, where they gave birth to their only daughter.
In the early 1920's, Clymer and family settled in Provincetown, MA and quickly became associated with notable artists such as Helen Sawyer, Edwin Dickinson...

Ogham - Green striped abstract painting
Located in East Quogue, NY
Green abstract striped painting by Mark Zimmermann- Acrylic and graphite on canvas in artist frame. Signed on back by the artist.
Mark Zimmermann's work is based on the fusion of meditative fields, architectonic structures and an organic gestural line that is one-part intentional and one-part accidental. Zimmermann clearly demonstrates his deftness of hand though labored bands of color, building and editing one band upon other, until the editing process renders compositions that combine both hard-edge and action-painting abstraction.
In discussing this work, the editor and writer, Larry Qualls noted,“...a majestic landscape narrative... they illuminate the nature of painting itself. In a sense what these paintings do is bring a synthesis of the conceptual and the realistic; it is as if there is the conflux of two grand traditions: the purely abstract and the purely objective.”
Mark Zimmermann has exhibited his paintings across the United States and abroad. His work is held in private and public collections such as JW Marriott Essex House...
