As the old saying goes, art is in the eye of the beholder. I invite you to take a minute to explore the twinkle in mine. Since I can remember I have been enchanted with color and sound. The way natural colors merge into the landscape shared with the sweet whispers of life. The kaleidoscope of colors in a sunset, ever changing, inspiring a rush of emotions that electrifies my soul. Through my art I hope to pass these feeling unto you. Each painting I create is an attempt to capture a brief moment in time. Each windchime celebrates life with its own unique sound. I imagine every JohnyMan as a sentinel, steadily, quietly witnessing life and hopefully adding a smile onto one’s face. On the following pages I bare my soul, do as you may with it. John Betts
