These are strange times indeed. My emotions swing all over the place day by day but my artwork has given me a focus and direction for these emotions and I have found my Muses, be they Goddesses, Angels or my Spirit Guides, have been coming through to me in dreams and visions. I am eager each morning to put brush to canvas and see who emerges over the days as they come clear to me.

I painted Bridget a couple of months ago and just wasn’t satisfied with her facial features so I ‘Gessoed’ over her nose and mouth Tuesday and did not realize until I stepped back what I had painted – a face mask! Was this a sub-conscious thought or feeling coming through?

I also decided to participate in the #518rainbowhunt phenomenon taking over my area and perhaps the whole country by now? I wanted to paint something eye-catching and fun. So, while getting out of my car Wednesday, I spotted this angel which was originally all white and waiting patiently in my herb garden for me to notice her potential as a Rainbow of Hope.
