A hummingbird found by a friend.  Thank you to Maquenda / @artofmaquenda for inspiring me to honor and preserve this small life in photos.

The Road to Awe

“I see the stars in your eyes” said he.
“Reflections merely.” Said the crow.
“Memories and premonitions” the voice, a soft rebuke.
“How can you know such things as the sky will not tell?” crow asked,
“I have taken the road to awe, as one day you shall too” a crackle in the voice, the sound of shifting sands.

A piece inspired by my dear friend Maqeunda’s character as well as our friendship over the past few years. This piece was started a few years ago now while I was visiting Taiwan but just never seemed to be finished. On tidying my computer I came across it again and decided to see if perspectives had changed enough to bring it to completion. Turns out they had. Sometimes it pays to step away from a piece when you feel you are grinding it, though most of the time I advise myself to work the piece while the idea’s roots have first taken hold. A great many pieces I start and lose steam for along the way don’t get finished, but I often keep them and return to them in an idle moment. With the turning of the old year into the new I have a tradition of tidying house and computer before I turn to the new page. This is also a time of reflection and I found myself feeling extraordinarily grateful for the influence and color this vivacious person has brought into my life. Thank you Maquenda.

Long time no see!! I hope everyone had a very merry holiday and you are all excited at the prospect of an adventure filled 2016!!! I sure am!!! 

Every year I try to do a little gift art for my husband to give as a Christmas gift. This year was no exception but I decided to add a few wonderful folks into the loop. These are people (and a puppy people) that make our lives more rich and bright for their being in it! We are lucky to be in the presence of such bright spirits and in the deep grey dark of the Northwest winter, we find ourselves especially blessed to have such friends!
