for Enny

Like the American painter Georgia O'Keeffe, Enny Jameson chooses to focus her artist's eye on ordinary subjects like flowers. But what she finds there is hardly ordinary. Whenever I see one of Enny's images, she takes me someplace I do not expect to go. Her work is not what I'd call "cutting edge," but, to my eye, it defines the word "original." A tulip or bluebell in Enny's hand is touched with magic. It changes how I see and feel about these flowers from then on.
And isn't that what art is all about?

Enny will be sorely missed here on PBase. May she find new ways to share her gift with our world, a world which is in grave need of the transformative power of art.

By the way, the portrait I'm using in this composite photo is not of Enny. I don't know what she looks like physically, but I sure do know what she looks like inside: full of love, gentleness and an encouraging spirit.
