			September, 2009 "It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures." -- Vincent Van Gogh ----------------------------------------------------------------- August 2009 (fair use for media ok with this entry) "Resilience" a mixed media artwork created by Eugenia Algaze Garcia in July 2009 is a piece about a tree that survived Hurricane Ike. This artwork will exhibit at the TAACCL exhibit that opens on August 20, 2009. Three other Hurricane Ike artworks preceded it : "Endurance", "Hope", and "Prayer", but they were not selected by the juror for presentation in TAACL's exhibition. "Resilience" shows how something tried to "blow out the candle", the life force of the tree. The tree fought back and proceeded to be resilient and grow despite missing some vital limbs. A hidden cruise ship within the painted worn wood frame represents the smooth sailing it foresees in its future along with the recycling of the lost limbs into something useful. A real tree inspired this painting. The shape of the tree may have been modified slightly for artistic representation. The four artworks are also part of Eugenia's larger tree series.

Leonardo da Vinci Different life experiences lead different people to perceive things from different perspectives. How we view the world depends on how we perceive it. Our perceptions are affected by all of our senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, sound. Art is a tool that helps us communicate our observations of these senses so others can understand. -- Eugenia Algaze Garcia --------------------------------------------------------------------------
