Splash splash, gumboots in puddles and streams of sunshine making rainbow magic with it's pot at the end of gold or more realistically filled with pumkins and squash... there is potential within a promise..... and given time, new hope in broken ones....looking forward. (O.k, it is obvious I have not weathered the winter grays as of yet.) As colors compete on maple trees and rustle together finding their place on the ground, wet and weathered, breaking down with nature's graceful ways, it's ok ~ go ahead. Because fall is granting sunshine to warm the straining smiley faces of sunflowers. Happy and having their turn to shine .

A new painting completed, an art sale attended ~ just in the nick of time! Whew! The studio awaits....... A new painting begins. Heart pumping , mind stirring , intoxicatingly sweet in the union of brush to canvas, a melody of the mind, soul & spirit. Thank God winter provides an option to celebrate. You know in British Columbia, the gloomy days tend to stack in the dead of winter.

How nice it is, to see it through with ART as winter's side-kick..... or kick in the side.
