Straddle the invisible line of reality
step on over to where anything goes
where non-boring is a necessity in the common place
happily not to commit to a serious relationship with the hours
everything is and will not be what it seems
creating a place where fun exists and laughter soars
all in a days work
Turbulent waves thrust unsettling stings
where hopelessness dwells
rush of emotion rises
trickles down to the soul
where sadness thrives
Sky in transition
clouds expand in all directions
blank spaces filled in grey and blue
comforted by the difference
nature is observed
I am grounded
Winged beauty
Stands tall high above all
Out stretched hands grasping
nothing returned
High on her feet the cold hard surface pressing
One step forward
guided by the future
Still standing tall high above all
Sometimes we are given words and ideas and we just need to get it out of the head and write them down or draw it out. It so happened that the words came to me first. Years later thought the sketch was appropriate for this.

And so the story goes… There is a time during the younger years that we are so full of life, bright eyed with possibilities and hope for the future. But as the years carry on we get set in our ways and sometimes that twinkle in our eye fades. The flame has not gone out completely we just have to find ways to spark that light once again.
When I created this sketch for someone who was at the moment moving on with her career and living life fearlessly, I had a flash of insight….Why not conduct ourselves as if we are still that young professional, by listening to our instincts, having fun, be open to endless possibilities, with a can do attitude. Moral to this story enjoy every moment, don’t take yourself and life so seriously, be open and aware of opportunities, and infuse a little humor in your day. Go ahead live fearlessly and follow your heart where ever it may take you.

Sitting down at my desk combing through papers, I discovered a piece of work that I abandon ages ago. I can look at an unfinished painting or drawing with fresh eyes, such discoveries fill me with the inspiration to finish what I started. Welcome back!
A windows daydream… Water color, pen on paper.

Art and the heart- Wandering through life, whatever the day may bring I take joy in creating. Drawing, painting, experiencing that first wash of color leaves me joyful, grounded and all around thankful. Today I got lost the best way I know how, with a pen and paper.
What makes your soul jump for joy?!

Sometimes its the little things in life we are given that have the most meaning.
A recent drawing my daughter made of the two of us, it made my day!
