Windspinner,

The oceans are a Universe apart,
spun iridescent blue ~
threads torn from sun and from rainbow
from cloud and sunrise hue.

Woven strong,and carried into view
by dolphin lullaby and dance
and island's treasure too~
enwrap us
sway us gently
make us new.

I have tried to express the truth of the connection and relationship between Mother Ocean and the sky: it's cloud and rainbow blessings, which are not always soft and gentle, but are sometimes 'torn from the heavens' and here spun into liquid blue.

Reflecting.




Another Papillon painting  'Reflections' is an aceo, 6.5cm x 9cm.. layers of pencil and gouache on pastel paper. The papillon, a 'butterfly dog', holding court with the transformational Dragonflies and Butterfly. To his left, a Red Robin swoops straight toward the Heart Chakra with a leaf, reminiscent of the post Flood olive branch. Stars float suspended in the night ocean. Full moon rises on the high seas. I love to incorporate beautiful thoughts and intuitions into my art, and as I worked on this one, here is what arose:


I often watch our girls, Bonnie and Jess, involved quietly in their own thoughts.
They are surrounded by peace
They seem to be listening to music I cannot hear, dreaming of voyages I can only hope include me..

Art is so powerful, expressing in one moment what may otherwise take hours to explain, different languages, misunderstandings!
