My Journey of Love

 

Featured image: Wind Breathes

This land and the healing it brings. 

To mingle with the earth and feel hope

To be still and hear the silence

To be playful with and dance of the wind

To see the diamonds on the grass

To see endless skies and endless waters

To be with the sun beams through the pines

These things and more

Fill my soul

And I shout I love you, I love you

I love you.

Rich Tapestry

As we journey through life many of us, including myself, find solace in the wonder and its power to tell the visual story that we and others can relate to. Art embraces life and makes it worth living because nature embraces us, inspires us in the very rich tapestry of the human experience.

i watch, i see

a white

drifting

with the wind

pausing in the updrafts

gently

lifting

floating

tossing in the breeze 

hovers  …..

August Garden

 

Garden in August.  I watch birds, especially hummers, coming to the garden every day while I have my coffee. A great way to start the day.

Joyful choruses
Tunes from the soul
Lifting heavy hearts
Birds in the morning

What an exciting day!

🎣 What an exciting day! I just reeled in my biggest lake trout yet—an impressive 14-pounder! 🐟 Caught it on the sand flats outside the finger bays. This catch is definitely one for the memory books! 🌊👏

It Takes Courage

 

Feature image: Caught Between Chaos and Order

It takes courage.

“Ii take courage to grow up and become who you really are.’’ e.e. cummings

Don’t grow up to be what someone, everyone else wants you to be.

To be an artist, had I known how hard it would be I wonder now who would I be?  Someone else’s idea of me and who I should be?  Been there, done that. As hard as it is for me not to be an artist, I am glad I found my independence, and glad I followed my heart and instincts, even though it is hard.

My life has had choices and risks, the path to be an artist has not been smooth, there is chaos . There has been change, and creativity and imagining. There has been honoring curiosity, and wonder and spontaneity, delight and spirit. My life honors trusting your heart.
