Using Red for an open mind, what a lovely and interesting choice. All of the pieces of this piece really work together very well. I am dying to hear about your show!!! Post Pics soon please!!!!
Laurel, very nice painting. I will say that I like it, nicely done. I also agree whole heartedly with the comment about magic in moments. Beautiful. I truly believe that. Every moment is precious.
Hi laurel! This is excellent! You create such wonderful art!
P/S Did you received my email? I e-mailed you my address coz I want the postcard, Laurel! I'm afraid it got lost in the spam folder, do let me know if you do not receive it. Thanks Laurel!
Very nice, Laurel! The terra cotta tones make this warm, earthy but also serene. I love the pattern in the background. Your words are very inspirational as well:>
Oh my, this resonates with me as I have been practicing meditation and the middle way. And you are so right about the magic in every moment. Can you imagine the way of the world if everyone looked at life that way? Precious and peaceful - so beautiful! I missed this wonderful prompt since I took Friday off as it was my birthday. I might post anyway, a little late...
This is very calming Laurel. I have to go to the spa now! You too have very different styles. You bring them out when we're least expecting it. :) Sully wasn't at the diner this time. I'm thinking about bringing him back soon though.
Ahhhh- so peaceful - you're the best at this! great idea - visual communication of it- as well as the statement following it. I get glimpses of the 'magic'- I need a crowbar maybe to open and awaken fully to the view- or I guess a soft pillow- NOT a crowbar. Thanks, peace.
How wonderful those colors...and the intricate background. Its lovely, and its funny how even dough you used so many reds you managed to make a very peaceful Illustration.
I'm not much of a believer, "magic in every moment", but there is magic in your paintings, and while looking at them, I feel a bit of the magic in those moments. I'm very happy you've entered this peice in the competition. Beautiful Laurel!
