Hope

"Hope" 24" x 24" Oil and Acrylic on wrapped canvas

January is a time of regrouping, renewing and becoming who we want to be, for whatever reason. It's a contemplative time, a meditative time and a time to give up or re-up. 

I spent today making this large painting filled with imagery and symbolism in honour of those of us who are in flux, in quandaries or just plain sick (and tired).  Give it your best shot, darlings! There's hope. Spring is within reach.

Love to all who ... struggle,
Carol

Painterly Iris

"Painterly Iris" 10" x 8" Oil on canvas panel

Her sun-kissed petals bobbed in the spring breeze like petticoats on a clothesline.  And a bud insured the promise of more to come in a couple of days. 


In the midst of shin-deep snow, I like to make time to paint unlikely subject matter.  It's good for the soul.  And since it was unlikely, I decided to paint in a style that's difficult for me.  I'm always stretching.

Thank you for nodding as you passed today.
