Unbalanced

I keep believing in hope and putting my trust in love and praying to God, that the "unbalanced" that plagues my dear ones (cancer) will disappear and the light will hold us and be with us. It is an unbalanced, much like a walk on a tightrope, that I'm finding hard to bear. I pray for all of you who cope with this and know that hope springs eternal. Peace. ... Continue Reading »

The Blur of Color…

My use of color is an attempt to create my own physical harmony, hopefully, as a way to tap into the resources of mental, emotional and even spiritual energies that sustain me, which enable me to stay sane. Hmmm...so much for poetic musing! The bottom line is if I don't color in and outside the lines, I go crazy! So Viola! the blur of my lines. (Process: Oil/Acrylic, on Canvas, filtered and blurred in Photoshop) ... Continue Reading »

Infinite – IF

Daily, I toil in a part of nature's paradise. I look out of my office window and see three enormous redwood trees. They form a semi-circle around a little rickety bench. There are days, when I sit on that bench, near these luscious beauties, which I have named "the three sisters". Wondering often, if they could speak, what infinite wisdom would they share. They are infinitely magical to me, changing the lines of their bark to peer at me in all kinds of shapes, color and forms. But, no matter the transformation of these "sisters", they always appear as women, whispering to me, daring me to discover their infinite wisdom. But, I cannot... ... Continue Reading »

Caution – IF

I didn't think I would contribute to Illustration Friday (IF), this week. The word "caution" did not stimulate my creative flow...at all. I thought about it all weekend and decided last night, "I'll have to skip the prompt this week". But this morning, daydreaming in my office, staring at my soft plushy bear and surrounded by bears (nick-knacks of the toy variety), I remembered how, when I was little, I thought that dancing with polar bears would be great! (I lived in a very warm climate and thoughts of polar bears was very imaginative). From that thought, I remembered sketching at the Zoo, and how Zoo officials always caution individuals ...
