stephen bennett, ladies and gents.
simply amazing. if i didn't know better, i wouldn't believe that these were paintings and not photographs. acrylic, oils, and an inspired man with the world at his fingertips.

to see rainbows in each human face... if that's not enlightenment i don't know what is.
if we all worked towards seeing how beautiful our neighbors are...
bennett somehow captures wisdom, emotion, the unspoken words sleeping in each of us and with color articulates them.

have you ever been so overwhelmed by beauty that you cried?

be sure and go to his website and see more:
