Tree Art

Some "tree art" to go along with my tree hugging experience!! 

Have you hugged a tree today?

No seriously....I had the strongest urge today to hug the silver maple in my yard as i walked by it to my studio.  It's just the perfect size. I wrapped my arms around it. Put my forehead against its strong body. Felt its roots draw my feet under. It was the most amazing sensation. So grounded, safe, strong.
This could be addicting!! and then i went into my studio and made tree art!  i will post when finished! :)

February Prayer Art Invitation

 Gentle Woman   

acrylic

12 x 12

After losing my Dad this image came to me in honor of our Blessed Mother who he was very devoted to. The inspiration came from the hymn "Gentle Woman".  It is amazing to me how inspiration speaks to us....sometimes through thoughts, sometimes through images, sometimes through words or lyrics.

Salute` Dad!

Prayer Art Invitation

Today I notice the driips and spatters of the paint

The orbs and spheres.
A symbol of life
The circle, a symbol of life eternal.
