Let your Light Shine Through

 "You may think your light is small, but it can make a huge difference in other people's lives."

-Unknown


Let your light shine through.

Friends, I'm in the beginning stages of creating journals with my art on the covers. I've got a steep learning curve, which is a great opportunity for my newly retired brain, and I'm excited to share them. I'll keep you posted!

Color is a Means of Liberation

 "Color, even more than drawing, is a means of liberation."

-Henri Matisse


Sometimes it's a bit of a challenge to see the brightness in life, particularly as we dull our senses in order to take care of ourselves. Each day as I walk my sweet Ellie Mae around our new neighborhood, my mind wanders from things that weigh me down to being drawn to the deep greens of the enormous Douglas Firs overhead, the bright red of the autumn turning Maples, and near the end of my path, the Roses of all shades that I pause beside to take in the fragrance...every single time. Color is liberation.

When Summer Greets Autumn

They two, for a while

Conspire in whispers

Then part with a smile."
