Magical JourneyHere, after a day that started out not so great (yes, definitely one of those days), I felt a flood of energy, I was uplifted by your comments, and was amazed by all that I was able to accomplish. I feel full of thanks this evening, and I am especially mindful of this right now as we approach the holiday of Thanksgiving here in the US. I love the tradition of going around the holiday table and inviting each person to share what they are thankful for.
While I have been in the studio painting recently, I have had moments where I suddenly realize that I am repeating a phrase in my mind over and over like a mantra. Each time the phrase is, "thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you...."
My heart is spilling over with thankfulness, and I believe recently this is due to trying to live in the moment as much as possible. For the last half a year I have focused so much on pulling myself into each moment, with my kids, my husband, in the studio, with my friends, going for a walk, feeling the sun on my skin.
With this has come deep thankfulness, and a mindfulness of just how brimming with joy these moments are...in sparkling, stunning, almost painful ways.
We are preparing to jet away tomorrow morning for a week of sun and beach living, with family in Florida. Some how, in the midst of packing for all of us today I was able to do a shop update with new paintings. I think that the excitement of sharing these pushed me onward! I love these three paintings together, as they are above, and when I return next week I will be offering a print of them together like that, as a triptych.
For now I am offering them as they are bellow. In the studio I have continued thinking about dreams a lot while I work.
That is what this series is about.

I came across your blog and followed you. Your paintings are BEAUTIFUl, I want to buy the set and I'm in the process of begging my husband! lol the size says its 5x7 and then says 8x11 i think, so is it matted *confused* I think these will look amazing in my dining room, or even in my bedroom! love love love your work!!!!
Also I was wondering if all 3 could be done in 8x10 and matted? *very interested*
I want to get all 3 together!! I cant wait till you put them up as a triptych!! I walked around my house last night planning where to put them! lol
Lovely lovely work, coming here has inspired me to see more around me. Thank you.
Oh my i adore your new painting...they are gorgeous! I adore the colors of Strength and Beauty Surround You and the sweetness of sweet dreams! Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time...but it's sad that peepz here in the city of brotherly love don't celebrate it. Have a wonderful merry happy trip to some sun and lovely weather @ Florida! Love to yoU!
