Three Feathers Watercolor – 11×14
Three Feathers.
Three feathers
painted at the end
of a beautiful
three-day weekend
celebrating life and love
and liberty,
celebrating family and friends
and freedom,
celebrating nature and nourishment
and nationhood,
celebrating appreciation and admiration
and art.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Golden Angel Watercolor 11×14 140lb Cold Press
Golden Angel
I recently read an adorable quote that stuck in my head, made me smile, and has me thinking about angels.
The question is not
“Will you find your wings?”It’s “What are you going to wear
with all of those magnificent feathers?”
You know – we all have wings… Some are flashier than others… Some are easily seen… some are tucked in and hidden.
Let’s wear them magnificently?
I haven’t had much time for painting lately, but I was really in the mood the other evening. I really felt like I needed to. So I decided to try something different, and this angel evolved. I think I will be doing more.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

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

Why be simply an “ordinary” Blue Heron
when you could have Purple Feathers too?
It’s #DrawABirdDay! Why not?
