..... "And they sailed away for a year and a day to the land where the Bong trees grow. " has popped out of my mouth many times over the years in some quasi version of ... let me think about it. :-)
Your drawings and the showing sound to be great fun!
Wishing you a restful weekend and a delicious new read!
Me too!!! And I enjoy loving the poem again via my art - and sharing the love with friends!!! Thank you for loving it with me - and for your kindness!!
That's the way I think/meditate too!!! Love comes up from the earth and is dispersed via leaves etc.... Thank you so much for your comment!! It's lovely to share an imagined sense of earth/love together!!! 💙💚💙💚💙💚💙
"For much of my professional fine art exhibiting life I've thought of my art exhibits as storybooks you could walk around inside." I think of your storybooks (and individual paintings) this way. The only down side is that I have to leave that world.
I can't say how much I love your work! I am inspired to create my own characters. Such sweet and endearing details in each scene and animal! Just lightens my heart!
Love the title and art!
Thank you so much!!!! 💚💙💚💙

I love the way the roots of the trees end up with hearts. I often imagine this in my meditation that earth is both a crucible and dispenser of love.
