Bloom If You Can
“Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don’t have to sit on it.”
-Joyce Meyer
Please enjoy a celebration of pink paintings this month, in honor of breast cancer awareness. I paint for my friends and family who have fought the good fight against cancer, for their families, and for all caregivers who help along with the journey toward a healthy self (body, soul, and spirit). In my strokes of pink, are prayers of strength and healing.
Flowers for the Soul
5″x7″ pastels on sanded paper
“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.”
–Luther Burbank
I don’t know about more helpful, but I know fresh flowers in my home make me happier. I love the way this little study turned out.

The Color of Dawn

I have always loved when my art reminds someone of a story. Thanks to those who have opened their hearts and shared their breast cancer stories. I am honored to hear stories about mothers, sisters, friends, and God Children, favorite teachers, choir members, neighbors, Aunts, and Grandmothers.

Dancing Lace
If it were not for the mosquitos and the chiggers I might not ever come inside. To be surrounded by The setting sun, and chest high flowers is a wonderful thing to experience.

Waiting in the Wings
12″x9″ pastel on sanded paper
I used the pallet I have been using to paint evening primrose flowers to paint these little dancers. I also used as few strokes as possible. I find fields of flowers are more beautiful, and interesting with less information spelled out not more, perhaps that technique will work tiny ballerinas?
