Synchronicity and Cheap Art Alteration

OK, I bought these really cheap pictures at Michaels because I wanted some art in these Tuscan colors to add to my bathroom. They come in sets of two, so I painted one of them in my style. Now I’m debating – do I leave the other as is, or repaint it also? I find the originals kind of static and boring, so added a bit of impressionistic style.

Here’s the original:

And here’s my altered version:

And on to the synchrocity – playing Sting’s “Fields of Gold” as I did my alteration on the really cheap canvases in just the right sizes and colors, easy to redo in my own style.

“Whether we name divine presence synchronicity, serendipity, or graced moment matters little. What matters is the reality that our hearts have been understood. Nothing is as real as a healthy dose of magic which restores our spirits.”
— Nancy Long

“I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.” — Dalai Lama
