Celebrating Life

This picture just got ready in time for my Mum's birthday. I have been trying to express a 'thank you' for what she has done for me as I grew up and through the years since. It is also a thank you to the Great Live Giver for all that he gave us in and through our mother-daughter relationship.

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us."

2.Cor 4:7

The second picture I am posting today has been finished about a year ago, it's about time to be introduced! 
I tried to captivate the joy, excitement and unpredictability that all come with a new beginning, as well as trying to express the dynamic motion needed to keep in balance while allowing the new to invade the well known and comfortable place of the present. The symbol is that of a spontaneous and intuitive dance.

~ The Dance ~

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:

The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, 

 hath had elsewhere its setting, and cometh from afar: 

Not in entire forgetfulness and not in utter nakedness, 

but trailing clouds of glory do we come 

from God, who is our home. 

William Wordsworth
