"Trust"

Trust your instinct, trust who you are, trust who you can be, and trust yourself!

I believe dragonflies are the souls of people who have come to visit us.  They flitter from person to person to remind us to trust in our instinct, and to remind us that even though the decisions we make are, ours to make, and to trust in them.

Love Blooms!

My newest collage painting......need I say more :) Its just that time of year!

I just found these in my drawer!

These are a few of my favourite paintings i just found while doing some spring cleaning. They were in an old blog post too i think feb 2008. I thought I would post them again for all to see.

I remember painting the whole background black first, and then sketching the figure. After I painted all the colors and used the black for the outline. I used to paint like that many years ago, but found that the colors were muted a bit from the black underneath. Looking back, I think the colors are bright and vivid. I might start a series of these ones. These were done on heavy bristol acid free board, but I think I will do the next ones on canvas ready to hang. I just love them.

Thanks for looking.
