First Weekly Artisan Feature for peacelovemarket !

Well, hey...our very first peacelovemarket artisan feature!!! I'll be choosing a different member each week, and like picking a name from a hat it will be whoever happens to show up first in our revolving merchant shop list. So...let me introduce you to the work of WB Eckert ...an artist whose work I greatly admire.

Let me backtrack a moment....

Our products in the peacelovemarket are based on the 1960's and 1970's and bikers were a huge part of the culture then too. It was all about the freedom of the road and living life in the moment to the musical roar of a V-twin engine. Any biker chick worth her salt was a royal queen on the back seat (and sometimes in the driver's seat...heh, heh) and this limited edition print titled One Hot Ride Foxxxy pretty much captures the feeling of just why we were Queens of our biker world...we were HOT!!!!  Nuff said!!!

Stepping away from the hot mamas...let me introduce you to Bill's graphic side...this original painting Arc Flight capitalizes on his feel for 'flow' and color...when I look at it I'm am darn near hypnotized by the feeling of eternal motion and continuation.
I'm going to leave you with my favorite painting here...I just absolutely sigh in contentment every time I see this limited edition print of Solo . Do you not just feel an absolute connection with this ethereal sea being? Can you feel what it would be like to forever float in Mother Earth's beautiful womb? See...art isn't about just painting what you see...it's about capturing what you feel and sharing that with others. 

I'm just going to leave it here with a big thank you to Bill for sharing that. Please be sure to check out the WB Eckert shop to see more of his work and take a moment to drop into our special market to see just how his work flows with all the other merchants in Peace & Love http://peacelovemarket.com
