I do enjoy finding ways to included my carved stamps into my mixed media pieces too, playing with paints, layers and textural effects ..






I enjoyed Jan's comment on this painting

" Spirit into the raw living form"

I love open paintings .. that extend an invitation to explore and reveal themselves anew each time i look ...

"The eye rests ...
in wonder
of what is yet to become
of its search for meaning"

Synchronicities .... the misty mawn prompt asking us to look at " I am ... " , the discussion in the creativity club on nudity versus adult content in art ... are an invitation to engage with my SELF ...

...I observe the origins of my emotions ... my origins ... my awareness .... as I engage with all of you ...

~ moments .... shared .... moments taken out to be seen ..... moments taken out to see each and everyone of you

~ as I read and take in everyones comments ... feelings and emotions arise ..i witness deep within me the ebb and flow of my emotions ... the rise of heat ... the surrender to warmth ....

I observe the knowing making itself known to me .... slowly ...steadily ... i trust the changes within me ....

~ We woke up this morning to our first snow this winter--- and snow in the southern parts of england is sooo unusual that everything comes to a standstill ..

~ so my husband is at home as all the roads are closed and I woke up to a nice roaring fire being lit and a cup of Chai Tea brewing ... it feels very cosy ....

~ I wonder what today will bring :-)
