Sometimes I just want to create something beautiful to look at,
and with the way I've been feeling,
that seemed like a good focus for today.
When I found out there was a birthday to celebrate,
of a person with a most beautiful spirit and heart, the imagery flowed forward -
so while I'm creating on the 27th, it is to celebrate a magnificent occurrence on March 28th!
This artwork is for you Renee, so you don't even have to steal it - heh!
Friend of my heart, one who inspires, woman of courage, limitless one, I hand to you the moon and the stars, the eternal ocean, and of course my heart,
along with oh so many others...
I love you,
Karin

Love Renee
Wow your piece for Renee is amazing you really captured her spirit...Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like you birthday present Renee :) and I did indeed enjoy your birthday! I hope you had a fantabulous day and felt the waves of birthday love that were pulsing across the world! I enjoyed visiting all the many parties happening, enjoyed the tributes and *meeting* your creative friends and sisters like Shelly, Ces, Linda, and Björnik. Got a little concerned about Björnik revealing a little too much as the cake was served, but it all worked out :)
ReplyDeleteGreetings to you all - so glad to know you!
Karin:
ReplyDeleteYour art is beautiful and it captures the essence of my beloved sister Renee. I was not able to sit with the girls and celebrate last night, but I hope that they raised one for me too. Love you for doing this for Renee and boy, I might lower myself and have to steel the art (not at all like Renee, just her Irish Twin, and love her to bits, again thanks for the tribute)
Colette

Hi Nadia, oh, you are so welcome! Your mom is such a generous and amazing woman, it was a joy to be able to have her for inspiration and forever a part of my journal's pages. I was honored to answer the calling - your family is inspiring.
