Art Inspiration: Everything In Bloom
Buy Now: Lilac Spring Watercolor Print $22.00
"And the day came when
the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk
it took to blossom." -Anais Nin
Spring is the time I love to celebrate the abundant blooming
of flowers most. My watercolor paintings illustrate the splendor of blossoms
causing many to comment on the good energy coming from my work. I actually feel as if I am in bloom this
year, as I have never felt more vibrant - inside and out. As I smell the
fragrant lilacs and other fruit blossoms I am reminded of the spring times of
my childhood. These were times when I was not always so happy and the flower smells
remind me of how far I have come in making my own brand of happiness. Perhaps, that is part of what blooming and
coming into your own is all about.
As I explain the mysteries of spring flowers to my 3 and 5 year old kids, I am reminded of my own love of the
garden. This year I will finally take up
the trowel and spade again to work hand in hand with Mother Nature, who is the
ultimate creator.
This year, I also celebrate ten years of painting and creating with flowers. It has been said that it takes 10,000 hours to master something. I believe I am nearing that now. Join me in my celebration as I humbly invite you to join me on my artist's journey by having one of my creations for your home. I do believe that each painting was made for someone specific and it takes time for the works to get to their destined owners. I had one young lady from Australia buy a painting for her boyfriend who lived in the United States. She was caught up in the magic of the piece. She wrote me telling about what she saw when she looked at it. I was happy to connect with her and hope her boyfriend loved it too. Springtime, love found and sunshine filled days, are what my paintings are made of.
