Kokopelli


My mind travels to the story of the hump backed Indian who would travel around and play his pipe over the crops. Surely this act would bring the bounteous harvest that was so needed and desired. I don't play a pipe, nor do I dance around my crops. Yet I ask for blessings on the seeds as I place them in the earth. The precious stones represent the gratitude and abundance we receive as we ask for blessing over our lives, and the Kokopelli, well,...... he reminds me that I've done my work, and am now asking for it to be blessed.

Lotus



Today I decided to paint a water lily. It was a sacred flower to the Egyptians and some other cultures. It grows in muddy water, yet rises above the surface to bloom with great beauty. At night it closes and sinks under the water. At dawn it rises up and opens again untouched by the impurity. I can see why it's sacred. :)

Yellow Rose




Today I painted a yellow rose. It is a symbol of friendship and caring. They also give you a sunny kind of feeling. I like that. I love the outdoors and the sun shining down on me. Of course, if the temperature stayed between 70 and 80, well, that would be as perfect as the rose.

Dragonfly

One day my sister had came out to see me. We had lunch and sat on my back deck talking most of the day. I never get tired of talking to her. She loves the outdoors and loves working in her garden. She's very connected to nature. When she was leaving a dragonfly with blue spots running down it's body flew over near her. Then it circled her car 3 times. It stayed nearby until she left....Interesting.....She has alway loved dragonflies ever since Kevin Costner made the movie. So, today I share with you: "Dragonfly". I have set him in the middle of precious jewels to celebrate it's royal, yet simple beauty and...who knows, maybe there's more to it than we know.....

Gentle Giant






Today I got to spend a couple of hours with my granddaughter Shelby. She came into this world with an amazing love of animals. We drove down to a road where there was tall white fences around a field with a few horses grazing. A big horse came right over to the fence where Shelby reached out and cradled it's head in her arms and pet her on the nose. I followed her lead, and pet the huge nose. Gentle and loving. A peaceful thing to share. So, today I painted "The Gentle Giant".

Watched Over-SOLD






I was on my way over to the gym this morning and a little quail ran right out in front of my car.I was able to stop in time. Whew......close one. I was so relieved that I didn't run over her. As the day continued I thought about how we're all watched over. Even the little creatures. Yes...they are protected and loved as well.. So, today I would like to share with you the painting that grew out of this experience, "Watched Over".
