awww very nice jw... love it!

what can i say?.....sigh....

My heavens, these latest things are powerful.

Very nice. Lovely artwork and the prose is wonderful.

Wow, this is so powerful!

It seems you are in a very poignant state of mind of late. That state sure does lead to some powerful art. I'm always so impressed at the versatility of your expressiveness. You create lyrical and insightful, poignant and thoughtful, and downright hilarious and clever. If your art is an expression of your current mood, however, I sure hope a quirky, fun piece is in your near future!

Happy Halloween and weekend, Lolo girl!

Fear not, my sweet friends! This is not a reflection of my current state. I just love thinking outside of the box and looking for that "deeper" meaning.

I'm sure a lot of folks feel like running this ad though :(

Wonderfully vulnerable and poetic!

Wow!!!
Very friendly, touching and provoking piece.
My tears drop......
Your kind thoughts:)

wonderful, wonderful, oh the possibilities of who will answer the ad!

the new puppy is such a trip! I had to run out yesterday to buy halloween candy and while I was gone he managed to turn the gas stove on! Needless to say he dressed as a devil for halloween. My kitten has returned to sleeping with me, well more like waking me up all night for love. So we're all surviving, I think! e

Oh this is wonderful! Beautiful and touching piece.
Thank you...

It's beautiful, Laurel, and also sad. However, it's also true that those experiences that hurt us make us stronger.

This is so incredibly beautiful and moving. A wonderful, thoughtful and amazing illustration and words.

As usual, well executed and very moving. Great work!

This gave me chills...the good kind...I am so in awe of your perception of life and your ability to communicate it! :)

Oh, can I relate. I just want to learn to open up again....thanks for this gentle reminder.

Hope you had a fun halloween :)

Really powerful text and illustration!

It's great,love the concept and the idea

What a gorgeous painting. I really enjoyed looking at this up close too! A very successful piece!

Beautiful everything here Laurel!!! Concept- expression- rendering- color choices- technique--
Geeze- it can be rough out there.

hahaha- sometimes I do better under "pressure"- I shoulda checked my comments before I illustrated.
Peace- and thanks

Glad to hear it's not a personal representation, I'm sure your heart is full of loving occupants:)
beautiful piece, love the line "needs loving restoration" you only restore something you cherish right!
Great work.

lovely take on the subject.

I have been in London for a week, hence the reference to the tube on my post.
Laurel- the museums, especially the National gallery, your eyes would fall out of your head, so much wonderful art.

This is great. The image is powerful and the words of the ad make it even more so. Honesty is a must indeed.

Wow... that negative heart really captures the hollowness...

A very touching piece!! Beautiful as always!!

yep i think at some point in life all hearts will feel the same way

I love the rendering and the idea! I love the use of the poem!

great, love your painting, thanks so much for participating xx

you have brilliant ideas!
very good work.

Thanks Kim! You are very groovy yourself! lol
And I have to say, May The Sales Gods be With us!! lol Cause I'm doin' pretty pooey this week!

oooh kim...i sooo miss the storms too!!!! im from ny..and we had the best weather there! lol
there's nothing like the calm before the storm comes.. you know..you just know..you can feel it..you can smell it coming! Its awesome!!!!!
Next time it 'sprinkles' or heavily mists here..I will think of my storm buddy who lives just north of me :)

I thought it never rained in southern California...or is that just a song someone wrote. I do love a good thunderstorm. Like you I can smell the ether of thunder, lightening and rain in the air and I love the smell of wet pavement afterwards. Crazy me. I adore this water print of yours...I can feel what the little girl is feeling. Great piece of art! I like to watch water too...perhaps we're kindred spirits of a kind.

KiM - you have delighted my heart & encouraged me beyond what you can imagine...

Sometimes we are the answer someone is seeking. God sends just the right breeze into our lives that calms and revives us - just when we need it.

Thanks for being a gentle breeze this morning on my blog - just when I needed it most.

I cannot waltz in here - this blogland of color & prose - without giving praise to your great talent. Your images and imagery are a gift to all of us who care to dance through your world :)

Thank~you sweet friend!

joy,

Hi Kim...you'll have to come to Colorado if you like thunderstorms. Abby used to hate them though and would jump in the bathtub to hide. She was so funny.

Your new "The Water Watcher" is beautiful.

I love thunder storms! The dogs aren't to fond of them. But I think they are just awesome. Good luck with your etsy store. Things have been slow all over so don't get discouraged.
