My wife and I needed a painting for our baby's nursery. Aside from having artwork that shows of our love for our son, I wish to impart in him an appreciation of nature and a drive to learn and read. I decided to finish a painting of a nature scene that I had started years ago. I also took photographs of my wife and I and superimposed them into the scene. Our baby hadn't been delivered yet so I had to speculate on how he would look. The day I put the painting up in the nursery, my wife went into labor! Avery Jude was born on January 16th, 2009 at 11:42am. He is my greatest creation ever!

I was originally inspired to create this piece
for my own office wall as a reminder to keep my mind set on the
mentality of abundance. It is my belief
that our thoughts and feelings act like magnets, drawing closer
whatever it is that we dwell upon. In order to frame each workday with
a positive, more rewarding attitude, I felt that a fountain overflowing
with luminescent waters would fill me with a sense of gratitude for prosperity.
I
found a photograph of a fountain that my wife took when she was at an
Art Therapy retreat in San Miguel, Mexico. I felt that it was perfect
for my painting, for obvious reasons, although I embellished a bit with
the water and a few other details. At the base of the
fountain is a stone tablet in which the word 'TRUTH' is carved. A blank
stone tablet was present in the photograph, and I felt that it was
there for a reason. I used 'TRUTH' to remind me that honesty is the
foundation for any good relationship, in both business and love. Enjoy, and let your
own abundance rain!
