Can you imagine being able to fly and soaring above the earth among the heavenly bodies? I wanted to fly so badly when I was a child. Tried it once and landed on my belly. After that I had doubts about the advice, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

These celestial paintings come straight out of my imagination and are probably the most natural way I paint. Actually, I'm never quite sure what a painting will turn out to be when I begin painting intuitively...just dipping brush in the first color that attracts me and following my instinct moment to moment. Once, I began painting a garden which turned out to be an angel.

"Secret Garden" is the last miniature painting I've completed in this series. Ran out of small canvas and just purchased more today. I've been enjoying painting this series...instant gratification...a finished painting in a relatively short amount of time. I am waiting for new direction and painting these mini pieces helps in the interim.

Here's a full red moon instead of the full blue moon shining up there at the moment. I might go into my studio now and paint a blue moon...we'll see. This painting, in particular, is much nicer in person. Once again, in scanning it,  the texture of the canvas appears much more prominent than it actually is.

I never seem to tire of this theme of light pouring into a garden or landscape. I've painted many of them over the years. Of course, they are all different but the theme is the same. I am happy with this one. I consider these garden paintings 'healing art'...Stop and feel.....What do you experience when you view it? That should answer your silent question... 'healing art?'

I am very happy painting these small works at the moment. They satisfy my often impatient nature with a finished piece in a shorter amount of time than larger works....and..... make it easier on the recent aching condition of my back, which I am working on resolving.  I changed my studio setup and am currently sitting with my feet on the floor and painting on a table rather than an easel at the suggestion of my dear friend, K.Madison Moore, who sent me photos of her studio setup.

Angels seem to be more cooperative in revealing themselves in these little paintings too. I have a few more miniature angel paintings to show in the next few days...

I'm back to introducing you to more of my paintings from "The Zone" series while I wait for several of my miniatures to dry enough to be scanned. "Serpent Dance"  is the most exciting one that I've completed in the series of 29 creations. Wish you could see this piece in person as the photo does it no justice whatsoever. They are all full of happy surprises as I paint, but this one surprised me beyond the others. I consider them all...ultra originals...

"Angels Descending" was created spontaneously from my imagination. The little angels near the upper middle of the canvas appeared at the last moment, just when I thought I'd completed the painting. It is always such an adventure to paint in this manner as I never know what the outcome is going to be. Hope the remaining surprises in my life are as pleasant....I've had quite enough of the other kind....

Besides the color combination, my favorite parts of this painting are the leaf, stem and very top of the pear. I would imagine that most artists have their favorite little sections. 

Did you know that in Christian symbolism, the pear symbolizes Christ's love for mankind? Neither did I until this morning when I did a search on 'pear symbolism' and the website for Symbols in Christian Art And Literature popped up...intriguing!

Pears have been cultivated and enjoyed for thousands of years. Homer referred to them as a "gift from the gods" in the Odyssey.

Today's Quotation: "A man watches his pear tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe pear at length falls into his lap!"

I wasn't sure what I was going to paint when I began this little creation. I started by painting the dark background area with the rich burgundy color first. After that I simply followed my intuition as it guided me and created the flower...always a surprise when I paint following my instinct from moment to moment...
