All things work to good
for those of pure intention.
This I do believe
I finished a little mixed media painting this week that expresses my love of birds and the importance of having a grateful heart.
This is not all all how I first envisioned this painting. My first thought was two hearts with a haiku, however I just couldn’t get the colors or placement to “feel right”. After setting it aside for a few days, I came across this image and it just fell into place.
Although as I look at it now, there are two hearts… they just happen to be words. *smile* This piece measures 4 x 4 x 3/4 inches, and is now for sale in my Etsy.
I’m including an Earth Day haiku today, just because I can!
Preserve mother earth!
Hoping others see our goal
as we tend to her.
