The “Glow” of Artist Dean Mitchell

Gypsy | Watercolor | 30″ x 22″

Here is an artist whose evolution in the arts has bestowed a vision that has lead to him painting a “glow” as if in a spiritual light of essence. Such insight and skill is a gift given to few artists and only those who have earned it! The ability to see the essence of a person, their passion and their pain… Old dilapidated buildings become personified in their struggle to survive. Youthfulness is elevated in the knowledge and experience of those elders who endured and adopted the struggle. That Dean Mitchell “glow” is cast upon all that he captures in watercolor, acrylic and oil. Mitchell finds the artistic essence in all that he chooses to record and share the story of.

Do you see the “glow?” Good! That is, among other deeper purposes and outcomes, precisely what art collectors seek. Often not even being aware of that which has held them spellbound. The great artists of the world all have this trait… The “IT” factor. Miraculously “IT” is always a variable. “IT” happens in music, dance, sports & beyond. People can feel the “IT” factor and when they do everyone benefits. When excellent art is discovered by art lovers, then the “glow” of an artist like Dean Mitchell is furthered. Glowing for all who see it, to learn from it, and then suddenly the world is forever changed. It is true, art does that, and has done so for generation upon generation.
