Your drawings and the showing sound to be great fun!

Wishing you a restful weekend and a delicious new read!

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.

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!!! 💙💚💙💚💙💚💙

This entire post made me smile!

"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.
