Heaven and Art are synonymous to me.

My head is in the clouds but my thoughts
are still with you

A Scary Picture?



Halloween Nights are Upon Us
(do you like my repetitive tribute to Halloween?) I painted this today, trying to recreate a scary scene, dark, night but I don't think I captured the essence.

Bob Marley is one of my favourite artists. I also like to draw.

I am excited about Halloween because I don't have to be responsible for five children being disappointed by what they do or don't have at Christmas time. Makes total sense to me.

To reminisce is Divine



You may be wondering why I believe that to reminisce is divine and you would be right to question this belief. Ordinarily I believe that reminiscing equals melancholy but at this moment I must tell you that I am calling on my perogative as a woman to change my mind. I was standing, thinking, and absent mindedly watching a cheesy movie on the television. Well, I can honestly say, I found myself tearing up over a very predictable plot line. Obscure yet very normal, I was transported back to a time, as a child, when my sister very lovingly took my hand and held it. Held it as I was consumed with an albeit childish response to some perceived injustice but held it she did. You know what? I just made that up but believe me I wish it was a real memory and I think that is why I initially felt that to reminisce equals melancholy and why I changed my mind to reinterpret reminiscing to equal something close to divinity. I just had an epiphany. I really miss, no, I really missed out on having that kind of bond, closeness with my syblings. Even though I had three sisters, I never knew that kind of intimacy.
