BLUE APATITE GENIUNE

Blue Apatite Genuine is a striking example of the Primatek series by Daniel Smith. The mineral is named from a Greek word meaning " to deceive" perhaps because it can be difficult to tell from some other minerals. Blue apatite is particularly soft and not used for many things other than ground up in a pigment or in some circles for its healing properties. Here, it is a rich midnight blue granulator that softens to a steely teal. Blue Apatite would be great in landscapes for skies like ours here in the Pacific Northwest,

SOUL

“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
