Take a walk with me
Now that we are fully entrenched in fall here in the Pacific Northwest, the trees are drenched in warm, rich hues and when they fall to the ground {which is still such a bright green because of all the rain we get come fall}, it creates a stark contrast of complementary colors. As a creative, that is something that just makes me come alive!
Color is a gateway to the heart....each one giving off it's own energy, even reflecting or affecting the emotions of the viewer. They have a strong impact on our emotions and are an inseparable part of our every day lives.
So as you are out and about doing your daily routines, take a few minutes to pause and soak in the colors around you.....as you just may find that they provide a much needed moment of refreshment in an otherwise hurried day.
Make things beautiful
As you know, music is a big inspiration for my work.....I listen to music while I paint and the mood and melodies influence much of my work. This is a song I heard on the radio the other day and it has quickly become one of my faves. Ellie Holcomb has a gift for touching hearts with her music and she has indeed touched mine in a big way! I teared up as I listened to this song today, so if you have a sensitive heart like me, be prepared with some tissues.
Much love + xoxo

Nature inspired abstraction
Inspired by my neighborhood walk to revisit abstracts again...I feel so tranquil when I breathe in my gorgeous surroundings. I need to listen to my inner whispers....beginning again.
Feeling there needs to be a series of these, in a large format (this one is 14"x14" and I find myself wanting to make it larger). I'd love some feedback from you, so please do chime in!
Hope you have wonderful Valentine's Day! We will most likely have a quiet dinner at home as to avoid the busy, noisy restaurants. Trying to get my hubby to fix crab legs, which I haven't had in forever! I figured that since I do the majority of the cooking, that I should get that day off. ;) :D

Awaken
Spring has begun her sweet call.
Those who have lain dormant have started to awaken.
I feel myself being called... To awaken that which has lain dormant, Waiting to spring forth...
Waiting for me to be ready... Open.
I. am. ready.
