Have you ever found yourself viewing a work of art, be it a painting or a sculpture, and realized tears were trickling down your face? If you have, then you know something wonderful happened. A spiritual connection took place. It takes a special image as well as deep perception on your part to achieve that, and it will just happen without any effort from you. Did destiny bring you and the artwork together?

Perhaps it was a painting of a family forging their way into a new life along the Oregon Trail. Did you feel you were one of the family members? That you were the man leading your family into the unknown? Fighting just about every problem known to mankind? Or were you the wife standing along side her man, caring for the children, helping to establish a new and very difficult way of life? Somehow you know exactly how the people in the painting felt at the very moment the artist completed his creation.

It will not have the same effect on everyone, but the few that connect deeply with it will never forget it and will, if at all possible, obtain one of the limited edition pieces to take home with them to enjoy in the future and to share with others in their lives. They may feel the same connection if they are of a kindred spirit, but it may well be that special piece of art that seems to have been created just for you.

Acquiring the piece is an investment in your soul. It stirs your emotions every time you look at it and brings joy to your heart. You may find yourself wanting to obtain the artist’s address so that you can share with him or her the feelings it evoked in you. Your response will be very meaningful to the creator of the art. The event will then have gone soul to soul, spirit to spirit, the art circle will be complete.
