Art is more powerful than our plan for it. It has therapeutic power. Twice per year we stay near Florence (in Impruneta) for my wife’s tours of Tuscany. The villa has postcard views from the hillside. The Vineyard. (not quite complete) Oil 16 x 16. lloydbrooksfinearts.com

Art life in Italy. A block from the Duomo in Florence, we have stayed in this neighborhood several times. At times during the day it's like walking in a canyon with bright light ahead of you. Duomo is illuminated. #painting #contemporaryart #landscapeartist #artcollectors #lloydbrooksfineartsArt:

I often revert to thinking of a golden age in my life, when I was 8-10 years old. I could live in an imaginary world conjuring images of nature and beauty in my city park. Art 4 all things positive. In the 90s my work was very abstract/cubist. #lloydbrooksfinearts

The number 4 has always represented an affirmation for me of things we do 4 our world to make it a better place. #lloydbrooksfinearts.com

What really makes a difference in the world? Why No. 4? In typography, I see the beauty of the typography in its history dating back centuries to those early typographers who created fonts for specific uses in a bible or manuscripts before the advent of printing. #lloydbrooksfinearts.com
