Majestic Symphony by: Dani Nash
Beautiful Royalty speaks with a sense of power and majesty. The colliding scopes of blue capture the essence like that of a brilliantly organic chiseled cavern.

The sunrise of yellow breaking through the peaks of blue that resemble morning’s glow as it meets the day with a song majestic praise. This piece produces a glimpse of how movement marries melody to create a legacy of something as revered as Beautiful Royalty.

Cool Like That by: Dani Nash
This digital painting can put someone in the mood to hear that smooth sound of the bass being plucked. As soon as the ears are in sync with the vibe; all of a sudden, the bright consuming sounds of brass that would make the music lover want to take flight within the “cool like that” sound constantly playing in the background. Just like the merriment of the bass and the brass horns, Bright Flight has the deep blue hues with just enough of the golden lines that embedded into this piece that can keep the flow of the piece going, and going, and going… da ba da, da ba da, da ba da… “and we out!” 9

Velvet Groove by: Dani Nash
Jonalle Funk can have music lovers appreciating this digital form of artwork. Just like how funk can bring the essence of soul music, jazz and R&B together and get folk movin’ and shakin’, this piece has colors, shapes and lines moving harmoniously, as well. Deep velvet slidin’ its way into the mocca movement, and bringing its circular center to the forefront of this piece, it can’t help but keep all the attention.

GOLDEN SANDSCAPE by: Dani Nash
Leela Bass is one original piece that brings to thought how traditional meets contemporary. When the two combine the best of both worlds, you get this new essence of creativity. The strength of the golden sandscape square impressed upon the backdrop of the earthy bronze of the abstract design of the Motherland, can be a great reminder that when new meets old – harmony is created. This is just a great expression of how we can live together in this beautiful melting pot we call Earth.

Purple West title:
medium: Digital Painting size: 20� x 34�

Purple West is a digital painting that presents simplicity at its best. When you have a good thing going why mess with it? Right? The abstract existence of the piano keys brings a striking presence to this myriad of lines shimmering through this enriched hue of purple. \Just like a pianist who gets lost into the melody being played of an original composition, this piece reflects a reminiscent feel of a drop of mystery as its artistry is being showcased. What may be in the mind of the composer may be very different of someone who is experiencing which that is being composed. It’s all about different perspectives for the appreciation of music. One, coming from a simplistic meeting place, and another, coming from a place of whimsy and mystery, but both with one outcome – which is the enjoyment of artistry at its best!

About
FRED
CELEBRATING HUMANITY Growing up in the small town of Dumas, Arkansas, I was always aware of the beauty of people. At a early age I understood that everyone possesses a unique quality that should be celebrated. Everybody is a wonderful fragment in the breathtaking mosaic of the human experience. My artistic purpose is to celebrate the beauty of the human spirit. The work I create is presented in fragment form to represent how important everyone is to the beautiful mosaic composition of humanity. Creatively I’m influenced by such artists like Andy Warhol, Jacob Lawrence, Jackson Pollock and Mark Bradford. You will find my work to be contemporary, clean, graphic and textural. My ultimate interest is to celebrate the strength, diversity and character of every wonderful fragment of humanity’s stunning portrait.
