Plant your seed
Give it plenty of water, sun and love
Be patient
Watch it grow
Beauty emerges
A nutritious balanced meal mid day is a must to keep your energy up. For big and little monsters.. Have a fun day!

When my kiddo needs a bag lunch for a school trip I love to doodle up some fun.. I love to doodle on everything. I think she enjoys it as much as I do.
As a creative, there is always the need to make something and if your not doing, making, creating what you love you can feel lost. Well for me that is how I felt during the past three years. It started out well, I was happy to have a new job, experiencing new people but eventually the work just wasn’t for me anymore. I needed to make a change for my own well being and purpose. Over the course of my work days, I realized the work was boring, non-stimulating it was dulling my senses, kinda sucking the life from my soul (dramatic I know but its how I felt).
Taking time to contemplate my situation, realizing my life goals I decided to take a leap of faith. Now my goal is to go full throttle with my art and work with anything that promotes my creative and brings me joy. These days I am feeling happier and lighter in spirit which is carrying over into the art I create. I always had a love of watercolor, and recently have been working on small paintings on paper, inspired by nature.
I want to share a little joy with you. Because I enjoy giving and sharing my work, I am offering a giveaway this week. I am selecting three winners BUT the winners will have to gift the art away. (No spamming, or mailings etc.) You can visit my artist page on Facebook, like the giveaway post and comment with the name of person you would like to give art to if you won.

Out of the shadow
light draws an appearance
brief inspiration
color vibrates
I see differently today

Placement makes all the difference. As shadows grew over the art, the light made its presence, it soaked upon my thoughts, sharing in words of inspiration today.

Oh the weather outside is….. warm… unusually warm. No white stuff this Christmas but I can create one. Go ahead and create your own moments this holiday and everyday!
Merry Merry!

Greetings from my little frosty village…
During our morning routine before school, my daughter asked me to write a poem. My first thought, I don’t have anything to write about. Then other thoughts followed..

I hear…… Unknown to me
the sound echos through the empty house
bang, clank shakes me awake
a ghostly presence of make believe
rooms filled with chatter
I try to muffle the noise
quiet restored
my mind is free
to dance around my thoughts

Fear finds a way and appears when you least expect it. ( where have you been hiding?) Fear settles in the body like cement, hardening with every new thought. The order is given, a combat begins within, there is a slow release of panic. Pay attention to the feeling, stay silent and listen. Time to draw a way out, to push through and rise above it all.
(The best part of experiencing the emotions within is the ability to draw it out, and look at it face to face.)
I decided on a mash up today, I took an old watercolor I never finished and created a new mixed media piece layering it over the old painting. The figure was pieced together with decorative wrapping paper, marker and watercolor paper. -Mixed media on watercolor paper.

Tree limbs greet the morning haze
sweet cool air dance along the lines
shared spaces with winged creatures
The wind whips me awake, draws me in
I am aware..
I feel comfort..
I whisper thank you..
