FOUR SISTERS
This is a portrait I did for my good friend Jeri Lynn Ellis. She and her husband Steve have four daughters who really are the most beautiful girls you've ever seen. She was up north and we got to visit, and I wanted to make something for her to take home. This is what I came up with. I really like it. FOUR SISTERS April 2009

Esther
I just spoke with Esther...she is my husbands grandmother and she is about to die any day. She is a lovely woman that I love very much. Talking to her is easy for me...I don't feel like we are saying goodbye. I've asked her to try to communicate with me from heaven and she said that she will try her best. She and I have a certain connection, and I will miss the fact that she isn't on this earth anymore, but I will be so happy to know that she is with her true love and is healthy and happy and home. I know I will see her again, and will "feel" her when she sends me love from above. She is beautiful.
Childhood memory
When I was about 5 or 6 I had a duck named Cinderella. My brother who is a year and a half younger than me had a duck named Batman. His was black and mine was yellow. They ran around our back yard and ate snails. I don't think we had them for more than a few months and then brought them to a park with a lake and let them be with other ducks. My memory is a little hazy, but I think my next painting will be of Batman and Cinderella-should be fun for me...

ART And Soul
I'm so excited because I just signed up to go to the ART And Soul workshop in Portland this October! I've been there once before on the Vendor Night, and it was so inspiring. So many gifted artists all together in one room-it was heaven! This time I will go to the Vendor Night and get totally inspired, and then the following day I will be taking a class with one of my very favorite artists- Lisa Kaus! I'm sooooooooooo excited- I can't wait!

Goals
So I'm setting goals for myself and then doing what it takes to meet those goals. Each time I meet one, I'll set another. I should try to keep this going my entire lifetime!

Riding With the Tide
Riding with the tide...sometimes the water is so smooth and calm that it doesn't seem real. Then the wind picks up and the illusion of glass is shattered. Waves are getting bigger and stronger, and you have to hold on so tightly or you may get thrown from the boat. Just as you're taking your last breath, and thinking you are about to drown, the wind lets go and the storm passes...you climb back into the boat and lay there exhausted. You gather your courage once again, a little wiser this time, and go with the flow of the water. Hopefully when the wind picks up again, you'll be a little more prepared. You realize that when the water is smooth and beautiful, that it is real. It's not an illusion. You soak up all the beauty and calmness and it gives you strength for the next storm, without even having to prepare for it, just naturally. You learn to ride with the tide, in all it's conditions. Everything is new...Everything is an adventure...Everything is a chance to grow...

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."

To the Beach
Going to take a drive to the beach today-just me and my littlest love, Cooper. I'll bring my camera and see what I can snap. It's supposed to be a beautiful day!

Knocked Down
Got unexpectedly knocked down, but I'm going to brush myself off and begin again. I don't want to lose my openess and become bitter-That's not who I ever want to be. I'm taking a big , deep breath and a giant jump forward and up. I will make today a beautiful day. I will appreciate all that I have.

Lifes Complications
I suppose that life's complications are what make us grow. They can stop you in your tracks at times, but I suppose life would be pretty dull and shallow without them. That's my positive spin anyways...

Old Friends
Seeing old friends is good for my heart and soul. Saying things that were once bottled up is so freeing and cleansing. I wish I could let everything out, that needs to find its way out. Thats probably a good lifetime goal for me. Purify the heart...

Intuition
Intuition...it's all I've got to help me wind my way through this lifetime. It's not really a question of trusting it, because I don't think I really have a choice...It's all I've got. What a powerful tool if you learn to use it correctly and recognize it always. I need to remember to always be working on this. Following the light...
