At Water's Edge


At Water's Edge

Dragonflies flit at the water's edge
Birds nest among the rushes
The serenity of the sublime
An amazing special place and time
Golden glint upon the wing
Tiny buds in many trees
Attuned to every minute each hour
The blossoming of a single flower


As we have just passed the Spring equinox and the first days of spring are in bloom today we speak of how the journey of less inspires. A myriad of thoughts swirl in a mind that is like a teacup, once full it must be emptied. When one is baggage free physically cleansed of clutter and mentally cleansed of emotional baggage then one has less stress. Less stress creates more flow for inspired thoughts to enter into the consciousness of the awakened ones.

Inspiration can be a dream from any source visual mental physical or spiritual because as every artist knows... Inspiration is a well which once tapped will never run dry. Fluidity is inspiration's life long companion. Fluidity opens one up to possibility and possibilities are infinite. Infinite possibilities open the gateway to flow and flow begets inspiration. The cycle continues to turn and more and more ideas are created through inspiration and then the beauty of this magic is that many new creations are born. New creations start new cycles of inspiration.

Nature provides us the backdrop of cycles that we witness as the seasons change. In this time of glorious Spring we invite you to view the following oil pastel inspired by the beauty of Deer Lake Park near our home. May the color and form inspire you to create your own works at this tender beginning time of Spring. You are so loved and so blessed.

Also inspired by the beauty of Deer Lake Park.

  1. When I opened the page and first saw this painting, I just went 'ahhhhhhhhh...' So peaceful, serene, cleansing, and much more. I love it. Thank you again for a breath of inspiration each time you send out one of your paintings along with the beautiful prose. <3 <3 <3
