STEEMAWAY - is the act of sending something of value to a randomly selected STEEMIT user who shares their valuable attention (Upvote/Comments) for a chance to win something they love. The First SteemAway Item for Proof of Concept is --ART. What is more subjective than Art?

Until STEEMIT! it was impossible for someone like my uncle Ted to send his highly-valued original art to a complete stranger and not ask for a single cent of payment. It takes time, talent and resources to produce art; and to make a career of painting like Ted is very rare indeed. Most artists never see the monetary reward of their work because the true value in today’s system is based on scarcity, which means the artist has to be dead. Lets show the world how we can do things differently. Lets show the world what we value most. I respectfully request your upvote and to be a part of something never been done before --Ever.

My observation is most artists do not create art for money, but what is important to them is to express their feelings in a way to connect with their surrounds and community's. STEEMIT and this SteemAway allows the artist and the art lover to connect in a more pure organic sense; without tarnishing the relationship by involving money. It is my prediction something beautiful will happen here on STEEMIT when money is taken out of the equation of exchanging attention for something of value.

The Art Offered for this SteemAway

"NEW HORIZONS" - Often, I can only express the sense of mystery and wonderment of the Southwest, by utilizing moderately abstract styles or techniques, sometimes even a sense of the Surreal in order to express Utah's Canyon lands and hauntingly beautiful arches and formations. "New Horizons" represents pure magic to me.

"ZION NARROWS" - This soft pastel painting, highlighted a bit with acrylic, is inspired by my many visits and hikes within the majestic 2000 ft high enclosed walls running through the sheer grandeur of Zion National Park. The Narrows are truly one of the world's most awe-inspiring experiences -- motivating any Artist.

"SHADES AND SHADOWS" - I'm deeply moved by the native cultures of New Mexico as they mold and influence the old Southwest culture as part of our Western heritage, Taos and Santa Fe, especially -- with such rustic presence -- inspire so many of my artistic creations, always trying to express the magic of the Pueblo and old villages along the wondrous New Mexico landscapes.
