I left a comment on a post by Chasing Purple Dreams yesterday:

"I feel so alive when I paint".

It's so true.

  1. Stunning painting! And that’s exactly what you are doing right now blooming into this new stage in your life.
    Selina just left a comment on the post you linked to saying she thought my painting looked nurturing – I hadn’t made the connection, but she is right and that’s what my life is all about right now. Amazing what our paintings can say without us really knowing hey!
    I’m so glad you’re out of your funk, now we can be on a big joyous creative roll together. Hooray for creative highs!

  2. Oh yes you are! This is absolutely beautiful Cathy. I'm loving the background texture. To me, it looks like an old wooden fence in the background, with a garden planted in front.

  8. This is so beautiful! I really love it and can see that you are quite alive as you painted this. It is so clear when an emotion guides a painting and with this one I can see it!
