Resting in the Grace of Creation

So God as a creative woman is not a stretch for my imagination. I created this pencil painting Resting in the Grace of Creation, many years ago and the meaning has changed over time.

Castles in the Sand

I was reminded of a time when I was down at the beach during a sand castle competition. I marveled at the incredibly huge and intricate designs created out of sand and water.

Tide Pools

What must it feel like to live half of your life in almost a completely opposite environment?

Covid Dreams, My Eyes Can Travel

I started this drawing in April of 2020 when I was staying in LA at the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic. It captured my feelings about being in quarantine.

She Wanted to Go Home

This is a follow up painting and poem to my last weeks blog called Sisters. It was done as a tribute to those we love who leave us too soon.

Sisters, is a watercolor that was inspired during a class I was teaching in an art gallery. It was a watercolor class, and the exhibit at the time in the gallery, was a mix of sculpture and paintings.

Letting Go

The pencil painting I am sharing today is called Letting Go, and I would have to say this is kind of a fairytale image. The princess heads off to the castle, dancing along a tightrope high in the clouds.

Balance

The concept of living a balanced life is not really about
All things being equal.
There really is no safe place,
Calamity could befall us at any moment.

Memories or Visions, I Choose Visions

The magic comes in the process of the unfolding, words and pictures brought together.
Reality created from a dream or a vision

Thoughts on Bravery

Some days, It takes being brave
Just getting up in the morning
Especially when it feels like the odds are against you.
