    Created specifically for this project, this piece is a gathering of thoughts, feelings, scribblings and flowers made from recycled stories and poetry.  The sewn flowers are made from hand painted pieces of original poetry that were first part of a piece in the Loft 112 Boxed Stories Gallery.

    Blossoms in springtime are around us everywhere and apple blossoms in particular are a sure sign of spring and the bounty that summer will provide.   The smell, color, and sheer numbers a tree displays are worthy of becoming inspiration for a painting.

  • Little Red Boat
    P-105
    Day Pajarillo
    Acrylic
    16" x 20"
    They say the artist’s mind is a wide galaxy of thoughts. I paint while there is a movie or music running in the background and I let it inspire me. While I see the boat as a vehicle to cross a body of water, I imagine myself getting there, reaching the shore, and continuing what I came for. It’s an adventure.

    The Painted Turtle is caught struggling to lift itself up onto the log to enjoy the sunshine. To get where it wants to be, struggle is often part of life. As my dad often would say, “Slow and steady wins the race.” (reference photo by photographer Christa Van Den Broek, with permission).

    The African Moon Moth spends most of its time just getting ready to be and once it becomes this beauty it has only seven to ten days to share its splendour. An art piece to reflect on the value of time and what one should do with it. Certainly spread one’s wings! (reference photo by photographer Robert Withey, with permission).
