Dear Music,
Thank you for lifting my spirits.
Thank you for reminding me of sweet memories.
Thank you for speaking to me when all other words fail.
Thank you for making me dance – even if only in my heart.
Thank you for making me sing – even if off key.
Thank you for taking me places I might never go.
Thank you for expressing the inexpressible.
Thank you for your healing power.
Thank you for letting me hear the voices of angels.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Angel Wings in Watercolor 11-11
Today is November 11th. 11-11.
There are those that believe the meaning of 11-11 (or 11:11) is a sign that angelic beings are close by. They come with love and protection, and they want to bring you clarity and guidance.
Not sure if I believe in angels being especially near at 11:11 or that making a wish will come true, but it is a pretty awesome number….. 1111…
and a fun opportunity to paint angel wings with glittery numbers and count my many blessings.
Happy 11-11!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Blue Watercolor Feather – 5×7 Arches 140lb Cold Press – Prussian Blue, Cobalt Teal, Quinacridone Gold
In light of all the tragedy and horrific events happening in the world,
I am choosing to find goodness, and beauty, and love, and happiness.
It is so easy to get caught up in the news and give more power to the demons
who do such things as drive trucks into crowds of innocent people celebrating life.
Instead, I found peace in art the other evening…
In thoughts of angels among us…
Angels in the form of good people
who do good things…
who spread happiness
and love and hope.
It is sometimes said that feathers appear when angels are near,
so I painted this blue feather to remind myself of the beauty and goodness that is also so close.
Blue is meant to bring a calming and peaceful energy.
May this simple blue feather I painted for #WorldWatercolorMonth today
be a symbol to you
of the angels among us.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
