Words

I heart reading books

Words are…

letters put together
in many combinations
allowing us to express ourselves.

Words can…

communicate
love or hate
good or bad
praise or condemnation
hope or fear
joy or grief.

Words can…

teach or destroy
be whispered or shouted
spoken or sung
written or read.

Each day
may the words we choose
be used wisely.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Expressing in Abstract Watercolor

blue flower abstract watercolor card

Sometimes I just want to splash water and paint on paper.  Can anyone relate?

I have no subject in mind, don’t feel like sketching, just want to express….

color….   feelings….  heart…. love…. maybe a little bit of peace or beauty.

These two cards were the result of that – done a week or so apart when I just needed to splash in paint puddles.

Not much talent at all involved here, but a great experience.  And… if my very un-educated expressions in watercolor inspire anyone to step outside their comfort zone and try – and then find the joy – my heart is filled.

These turned into note cards I needed to use recently to express sympathy to a few friends who lost loved ones.

I hope they feel the love, and it brings them a bit of peace.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
