Shared Hearts

One of the most powerful relationships in life is that of a sibling.  You share the same history, swim in the same gene pool and if you are really fortunate you share the same present.

Recently I was so honored to create this piece for a treasured friend.  It's called Shared Hearts.

She wanted something special for her sister. They have traveled many of life's miles together.  The friendship, loyalty and trust of these sisters is a beautiful thing and something to be admired and honored.

When you are blessed with a sister who loves you unconditionally, self-lessly offers herself, her time and resources with no thought for herself, who laughs at the same silly things you do, who always includes you in the landscape of her self-portrait...your life is rich.

I would know - I am doubly rich  -  I have two such sisters.

Art for a New Year!

Happy New Year.

My "new" New Years Eve tradition....make new art!  Instead of creating a new years eve resolution that I'm sure to forget about, I set aside several hours on New Years Eve to create something that reflects my intentions and desires; way more fun than a list!  The journey of last year combined with the longings for the new year come together in this piece.

          I call it:  "Heart for a New Year".

Although I'll admit it remains a work in progress...the themes are mostly complete.  I want a heart ready to tackle the new year.  Filled with solutions, beauty and persistence.  This is the kind of heart I want,  looking to find the purpose in the last year so that I know how to effectively invest myself in this years work.  If I can't know the purpose than I pray for a song to keep me singing through the days and weeks ahead.

Perhaps if this piece morphs into something more I will take a new photo and post it!

Also, this winter I am working on my new line of cards.  I'll  let you know when they are up and ready for purchase!

Big hugs and love!
