Beauty fades while art
is eternal, well that’s not true. Art and Beauty more often than not are the
same things that coincide together, Art is passion, culture, beauty, ingenuity
and peace all wrapped up into one piece while Beauty is the passion to create,
work hard, and love. Together and you find works that make you think, pause,
contemplate and mystify at the world around you.
"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."
Aristotle
My sister Brooke is an
amazing artist and works so hard on every single piece she does, while she may
not realize just how special she is, there are those around her who see the joy
and love of life she shows every single day and love that about her. I am proud
to show off her works and know that the many more posts to come on this subject
will not fall short to please

| Holding Hands |
Holding Hands is a
beautiful piece done for her AP art class in 2013 and it looks amazing. The
color and excitement bursting from within the love these two hands hold shows
the passion and beauty of this work.
I especially love that
there are no defining markers on these hands, making them anyone and every
one's hands.
Holding Hands is done with paint and pencil on paper, and is also a play off an earlier piece that was used as a yearbook cover for Brooke's middle school.

| Books |
"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid."
Jane Austen
Books is a fab and unique piece showing the discovery of something new within the pages of a good book, something the artist is most familiar with, as she owns her own personal library. The look of pure joy and satisfaction on this girls face as she reads through the pages of this un-named book. The illumination of light showcases the girl and her book, leaving her surroundings a mystery to all who gaze upon her.

| Bubbles |
Bubbles, so named for the game played by so many children who take the simplicity of life, and enjoy it. Something most adults take for granted.
Bubbles takes away all the distractions of the world and focuses on a girl and her simple joy of bubbles, her simple yet elegant beauty is breath taking and the colors, done in watercolor are extremely well blended. This deserves full attention and praise for the craft and soul put into this water color on paper.
Remember, this would be a great thing to frame and could always have huge impact on a room.

| Blu Sax |
Blu
Sax is just as it sounds, a blue saxophone, the highlight of the piece and the
focus of our subject. The movement and natural shape to our girl is organic
while her saxophone, traditionally made of brass, is blue and therefore
untraditional, different, unique. The symbolism in the work is evident in the highlighted
and darkened atmosphere.
"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."The great thing about Brooke's art. Is she is good at drawing real people, this girl could be your neighbor, baby-sitter, or even your friend. She is healthy, normal, and enjoying herself and her music.
Thomas Merton

| Yellow Rain |
"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for."

| Brooke Murray, the Artist |
Georgia O'Keeffe
Brooke is a 17 year old student who loves to draw, paint and create. She is gifted with pencil and paper, but has been experimenting with everything from water color, to texture, to oil and acrylic paints. Her limits are boundless.

| Exhale a Whisper |
I love how simple yet profound the statement this girl gives as she exhales.
