Lately, I've been working out some dream issues, which to me represent the most intricate designs of the mind. Most days, I'm not sure what my dreams mean...hmmm...maybe they mean, I'm just anxious for Spring, or bracing myself for more of Winter, or missing that hour I lost for daylight saving time or ...there's always the off chance it could be just indigestion! :) lol! I'm just spending time trying to figure out the intricacies of what they mean...how about you? Dream any good intricate ones lately? I'll meet you in the dream world. Peace ... Continue Reading »

Breezy – IF
There is nothing like sitting in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth, it's gentle creaking, and a breezy spring air flows in your window, gently lifting the curtains in your baby's room. The curtains lightly swinging in the breeze, and that sweet smell of a brand new baby filling the room. Now that's an easy, breezy beautiful moment. When my babies were tiny babies, I often wondered, as I stood at their cribs watching them sleep, catching glimpses of adorable smiles, "what are they dreaming..." To the joy of sweet baby dreams...Peace. (This was art created with many, many glazes of watercolor, the butterflies were separately drawn, ... Continue Reading »
Instinct – IF
I cannot wait for Spring, because Winter does not always bring pleasant thoughts!

Human instinct is supposedly more colorful in its width and depth than any other being. Many humans are taught to believe that this instinct is a combination of curiosity, ... Continue Reading »
Celebrate – IF
Celebrate to me always involves music. I mean really for me, a celebration without a song, a lyric, music, a ditty...well it just is not a celebration! So for this week, in honor of love, take the one you love, put on a tune that you can hum together, dance together or look at one another to and celebrate, because love is always a cause for celebration. So here I've provided the instruments, the singer and a microphone, now all you have to do is improvise...celebrate! Love, Happiness and Peace to you all! ... Continue Reading »

Time – IF
"Time is running ..." I love Bears, they are my favorite wild animal, especially polar bears. Global warming has put these magnificent wild creatures in danger. So my Illustration Friday piece this week based on the word, "Time" is a tribute to these creatures. Human beings are stewards of the earth, please, let's try to act like it. For more information on endangered species like polar bears, visit: http://www.panda.org/index.cfm Peace to you and be good to the Earth, it has been very good to us. ... Continue Reading »
