This particular painting was inspired by a photograph taken by my dear friend, JudyAnn Encarnacion. It is of a place called Playa Los Machos in Ceiba, Puerto Rico. It is where JudyAnn’s husband, Luke Edgard Encarnación Alvira (an amazing musician), is from. The tree is an almond tree.

“I look at painting and music as any other trade. I believe that anyone can learn either if they put their minds to the task, God willing, and that both music and art are nothing more than services/products to be offered to earn a humble living and nothing more than that.  Don’t get me wrong, they both offer many great things and can be used for good.  I simply mean that anyone that creates art or music should never consider themselves as anything other than a tradesman, which in and of itself, is a very respectable thing to be.     I started learning to paint not long ago, now in my later years, because I wanted desperately to figure out a way to make a humble living doing something else other than what I was doing.  This particular painting is dedicated to a few kind souls that have inspired me to continue in my endeavors. First, of course, my husband, Jeff Burris, who has been so unbelievably supportive of me learning this new trade. He has been my inspiration, my muse, and my best friend! I love him dearly! I also dedicate this painting to some dear friends of mine who are also my precious brothers and sisters in Christ. I list them in no particular order and they are each very special to me. They are Debra Wilson and Ward Uggerud and JudyAnn and Luis Encarnacion. These two couples have been suffering greatly as both Ward and Luis each battle cancer. And even through their suffering, they have each shown us such a superb amount of kindness and love! They have been such an inspiration for us both. Thank you to each of you from the bottom of our hearts and much love to you always! We are so grateful for your friendships. May God continue to be with you always!”  –  Tina
