"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

i wonder~





"The swan, like the soul of a poet,
By the dull world is ill understood."
heinrich hein


a little friend i know
see here
she has become quite smitten
 with her early morning walk
blessed has she become
to see such a sight
swans present
gracing the waters
in the early morning hour
filling her spirit
moving her
speaking to her in a way
they never had before




i rarely paint

but for the life of me
i could not shake
the presence of this swan from my mind

so i sat
and i played
creating a gift for thee

i wonder if she'll like it

Simply beautiful! Amazing.

B-to be moved to the extent that one is almost forced to paint does indicate the power of your experience - love the simple sweeping strokes. B

Judy said...

So simple with so few strokes...yet so beautiful...

This is stunning! I love the movement and flow that you captured. And such wonderful synchronicity at play here, a swan quite unexpectantly flew into my painting yesterday. xo
