Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland – May, 2019
The Waves of Life.
Remember the stillness before the wave forms.
Understand the friction it took to create.
Respect the energy it fueled.
Ride the power at the crest.
Honor the crash.
Bask in the calm.
The waves
of life.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Be a Mermaid
Makes Waves!
A friend recently asked if I could paint a mermaid for her for a baby shower she is going to where the baby girl’s nursery theme is mermaids.
What fun it was to paint this in watercolor! What a fun nursery theme too!
This painting makes cute cards, so I added prints and cards to our McKinneyX2Designs Etsy shop. I thought the prints might be fun for little one’s rooms or nurseries and the cards for birthdays or just “under the sea” fun!
And why not be like a mermaid, and make waves!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Geneva on the Lake, OH – Rocks at Sunset – Summer 2016
Reflecting on the day
And contemplating life
A kaleidoscope of color
Evoking variegated memories
Discovering along the way
Acquiescent acceptance
Sometimes distancing ourselves
to ultimately save ourselves
Healing comes in waves
Crashing, splashing, breaking
Sometimes hitting the rocks
Other times reflecting the light
Remembering to pause
Remembering to cherish
Time spent reflecting
Time spent sharing
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
