Always Waiting in Dreams

This piece reminds me of a warm sunny day, when two friends, share their passion of creating. Me and one of my dearest friends took the day and sat outside with our paints and brush . It was a relaxing ,and what more could you ask for sunshine, friendship and art and, oh yes food. We also had lunch. Yet, for the life of me I could not tell you what we had for lunch.
No we did not finish that day, we had to gather up and bring it home. I finally got it finished,
It is a 10x10 on canvas. It tells the story of a lady, that waits in the cool blue water for her soul mate to return to her. She drifts in out of time, waiting , floating on the water of her dreams.

We all have dreams, loves and friendships. I hope you have all of these and thank you for taking a look into my world of art.

Make you always dream in color,

ALWAYS A SHADOW OF ANOTHER DOOR

This is a small 4x4 and the photo does the color no justice. It is a black and white photo I took of a door at a church. I hand tinted the door and the back ground is done in acrylic. It is a small piece on canvas but it has so much to say. When one door is shut God always has a shadow of one behind it to open. We may not always see it but it is there. We just have to have FAITH.
Today, I promise no stories of me or my day. Just a thank you for visiting my simple blog and may God open all the doors for you. Just remember he opens them you just have to walk through .

May you always dream in color,

The End of a Perfect Day

This is another piece it is 10x10 on canvas. It is a photo I took in black and white and then tinted. I then place on my canvas and surrounded it with texture and color. Which don't all us artist's LOVE TEXTURE. I wish you could see the color, and really feel the texture. Go ahead and give it a closer look, zoom on in.

Today was another cold and gloomy day, so I thought this would give the day a little perfect for you guys to enjoy especially if you are having the same kind of day. Yes I know I am learning how to post and take pictures of my work. So please be patient with me. I may have to take a class!!!!!
So, you know here goes the poet in me. Sometimes the perfect sunset is not always the main thing, look at the Tree. Not just my tree but all around you. It is strong and it is stretching his arms out to feel the breeze touching it's skin or bark if you want to be boring! Some trees whispers such great secrets to you, because like this tree, it has been around for Years. It can tell some stories. Which it ask me not to share and I shall not reveal.

OK , so I love to tell stories of truth or imagination , which ever you choose to believe.
Today I have not shared about my mother. She had a good day. That is a blessing in my world.

Thank you for visiting my world and I hope if you are taking care of a love one and you need the strength for another day. God is always listening.

Make you always dream in color,

This is a 9/12 piece done on canvas..It is a black and white photo and I hand tinted. Then I then added acrylic paint to finish the piece. The piece is called A Walk into the Store of Yesterday .

God always gives us a door to open and go into. We walk through that house where it is a place of the past , maybe not of our own but of people before. We learn from this walk, maybe by just listening to the story the house shares if it is only in our minds. When that door is shut, God always opens another one. So when you pass by a door that catches your eye. Remember , it could be telling you a secret, and sometimes it is a soft whisper. You will see doors in my art work.. It always has a story to share.

May you always dream in color,
