New Painting - Shiny Happy Tears And Candy

About This Piece

I wish I lived in a land of dreams and candy. Looking at the world through a child's eyes makes me long to be a kid again.

As adults we have pressures, deadlines, and responsibilities that make us feel drained and tired.

But wait! Even adults can have peace and contentment if we just stop and take a deep breath and let ourselves go to that happy place one in a while. Through shiny happy tears I can appreciate all I have and know that there is still a fun child in me somewhere.

About This Piece

Acts of kindness bring joy and delight. It can be as complex as granting someone their dying wish or a simple gesture of picking a flower for a friend just because you know it's their favorite.

A road to happiness is paved with acts of kindness.

About This Piece

I paint reflections of the past.

A woman once told me that when she looked at some of my paintings, she would think of her mother who had passed away.

She told me a story about a happy moment with her mom and although it was clear to me that this was painful to talk about, bit by bit a smile emerged through the tears she was desperately trying to hold back.

A road to healing starts with memories. Keep them close, even though they are still fragile and delicate.

I started this piece at midnight one night. I was in my studio finishing some work and an image started forming in my head.

It's a serene piece. They are sitting on their swing, alone but not lonely while sweet music floats around them surrounding their quiet world with three gifts, those gifts are theirs to keep and a secret forever.

I love this Journal! I've been writing in my Journal since 06. It's so important to record your thoughts and feelings and it's wonderful to go back months and years to re-read your experiences. I write all sorts of things in my Journal and it's really good for stress. Have you ever thought about writing a short autobiography about your life? I'll bet it's more interesting than you think.:)

It's Fun To Be A Kid!

I am often asked to donate paintings for charities and causes and love to help out whenever possible but when I'm asked to do things for children...Well, I'm delighted! I was asked to make and paint all of the characters for the Crocodile Dock VBS Camp at Trail Alliance Church. (August 24-28). It was fun, and I got to feel like a kid again for a few hours. :)

New Miniature Painting

Some of my dreams are like delicate music notes, surrounding me with their beautiful song waiting for their turn to be something wonderful. Sometimes my dreams come true, sometimes not. That's ok because there's always more lingering in the distance.

A little painting for a little reminder not to forget the dreams of yesterday, today and the future.

New Painting

I have a new painting today. This one is called What Dreams May Come. This painting is about dreams. Some big, some small. One of my dreams is to have horses, to look out my window and see beautiful horses grazing in the pastures below.

Sometimes my dreams seem like tiny glass bubbles floating around me, delicate and fragile, waiting to break at any moment. Other times, my dreams are right there in front of me, and all I have to do is take them, after all they belong to me...don't they?

Whatever dreams may come to you, I wish you the very best.
