Intermission

The lights are lowered, the curtains are closed. The Sky Circus is at rest. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could do the same for the circus that surrounds us? —Michael Parkes

Traveling Circus

We follow butterflies from place to place, hoping they know the Way. We all have our own clowns, jugglers, magicians, daredevils, and an audience that surrounds us on our journey. It helps to know it is all Illusion. It makes it all the more enjoyable.

As Time Goes By

She stands on the edge of eternity. She loves touching time as it begins its descent to create the worlds below. She has been there from the beginning and watches As Time Goes By. -Michael Parkes

White Peace

As the snow begins to fall, The land becomes still with a blanket of soft white. Everything feels renewed and there is peace in this quiet beauty. In the season that brings hope and new beginnings, We dream of snow covered meadows and White Peace. –Michael Parkes

The Circle of Life

When I started this painting I wanted to give the feeling of hope. I always feel that beneath the seeming chaos we live in, there lies a place of peace and beauty emanating from the female deities who watch over us. If only we could feel their embrace always!
