Millard Sheets, Enchanted Island, 1978, acrylic on canvas


I feel so free as I fly around during this pink hour.

The pink is dull.

I feel so alive and notice two beautiful bone white logs.

The logs from dead trees.


A beautiful landscape on the horizon.

No life in sight.

An open sky with infinite possibility.

A place where two lonely clouds reside.


As people look at this art, 

They see what they want to see.

They see what they feel.

As one might see freedom, the other sees loneliness.


Something so definite as an image.

An acrylic painting on a blank canvas.

Can be seen as anything to anyone.

Art is truly enchanted.
