This print is awesome. I bought one of the big sizes. The resolution is good considering the size, and the colors are really nice. It's a good quality reproduction. I got the matt paper and glad I did - no possiblity of unwanted reflections. Customer service was good. I told them the print I got was slightly smaller than what I ordered, and in 3 days they sent me a larger print! That was nice.

I ordered four of the blue footed boobies as a series Ithis particular print is one of the series). They're beautifully done and have some sweet and comic elements. They all make me smile! Thank you!
Artist's Description
Afternoon sun casts warmth and light upon a meditative, yet joyful woman. At the ocean, the child in us comes out to wade. Rare is the person who, upon stepping onto the sand, does not feel the impulse to kick off one’s shoes and go barefoot, free from the confines and constraints of footware. In some ways, it is a larger message given through this action: the sea is a place so big, so grand, so enormously, magnificently beautiful, that it demands to be felt, experienced, wondered at.In Gathering Thoughts, the woman in the painting is, literally, allowing the surf and the sea to encompass her, to surround her, to embrace her with their sights and sounds and smells and textures. This is not the time to check the phone (and indeed, with no pocket in her dress, there is no place to keep one), nor is it time to check in with the office and see what has passed since we checked 15 minutes ago.This is a time to gather one’s thoughts in the same way that the woman gathers her skirts to her...
About Steve Henderson

I am a fine art painter who creates representational images celebrating light, life, and color. A commercial illustrator for more than 20 years, I have been painting for most of my life, and in the last 13 years have focused exclusively on fine art. I celebrate images that invite the viewer to step into the artwork and experience a sense of joy, peace, freedom, encouragement, meditation, and thought. There's a lot of angry art out there, as well as a lot of shallow pop. I choose to use the abilities and experience I have to promote beauty and goodness.

Voted for this fabulous work in the Peace contest. Absolute incredible description. As a "water baby" the beach has always been my spirit's home so I could relate to your words.
Steve Henderson replied:
Glad that you enjoyed both the paint and the words, Kathy. As you may know, these descriptive mini essays on art and life and living are created by my wife and business partner, Carolyn. She puts a lot of soul and thought into each essay. Thank you.
