Sitting Beautiful On The Wind

I painted this piece on the beach last summer in Kelowna B.C

I remember the sun on my face and the tender breeze playing with my hair.... The sky was clear and the mountains across the lake a hazy blue, sleeping...

...Getting ready for this upcoming Fairy Lake Show has been a test of patience and trust within myself and those around me- that everything will work out gracefully and as it should... The past few weeks have been trying for me, so many emotions coming up from so many areas of my life... I suppose the beauty in that is the inspiration I can channel into my painting... Right now I visualize this antique wardrobe in my mind filled with with all the days of my life over the past week, painting ideas, futures, plans, desires, hopes, dreams and burdens laid wrapped up tight in delicate cloth in the tiny drawers and cubbies of the wardrobe and my mind... I think the stone wrapping, candle burning, rain and lemongrass tea right now will help ease this love sickness in my heart... For the future is bright and beautiful and I cannot wait to embark on this new journey laid out before me... :)

a man stood ahead
near a new golden bed
he told me of a love not yet found
but merely waiting on the flower covered ground

playing in the studio tonight with candles a'glow, Iron & Wine and this wonderful new folk musician I stumbled upon, William Fitzsimmons....His melodies are haunting and I found my paintbrush tonight dancing along to the rhythm of his voice.... This small multimedia piece feels very nostalgic to me. It's gentle and tender like an old weathered photograph.

I find the process of playing with paint very important and beneficial to developing a relationship with the paintbrush.... Like anything it takes patience, care and love...

Summer is in Bloom!

along with tea in the garden, late night campfires, barefoot forest wandering... Are the much anticipated Artisan festivals! I am so pleased to announce I will be exhibiting my work (Earth Willow Creations) this year with the lovely Erika Flynn- Owner of When Freedom is Felt @ The Newmarket Artisans Festival at Fairy Lake from June 18th-19th from 10am to 5pm.

come hang out.... enjoy the sunshine... music and soak up some beautiful local art made with love! :)
