Purple Petunias
Stars don’t only shine at night.
Attract what you expect.
Reflect what you desire.
Become what you respect.
Mirror what you admire.Author Unknown

Star Gazer
A philosopher once asked, ‘Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?’
Pointless, really…
‘Do the stars gaze back?’
Now, that’s a question.
-Neil Gaiman
Something to think about – eh?

“But a Speck” Mixed Media Watercolor 9×12 300# Arches Cold Press
This painting
I decided to feature
for the first day
of July
and the first day
of the first ever
World Watercolor Month
began as a field
of daisies
gone wrong….
So following the advice and experimentation
of my mad scientist artinista mentor, Laura,
at CreateArtEveryday
I slapped and slathered
white Gesso on top
and started over
feeling free
and loose
and creative.
I wanted to express
how I am but a speck,
in a huge universe
but a tiny speck
can also have
a rippling effect
that creates art
and magic
and joy
and beauty.
I am
but a speck.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
