sparkly waters.......

as i was driving home from a long day of gardening, tired and dirty,

i spotted this horse who always seems to be standing in this pond.

what was different this particular afternoon,

was all the sparkly water surrounding her...

so of course,

i had to stop my jeep and jump out

to capture this moment of glittery light, of sparkly waters, twinkling all around.

i am once again
playing along with
kim klassen
and her
texture tuesday.

my sparkly waters were made even more beautiful
by adding kim's texture called
"life is good".

shattered faerie tale...

my latest paintings......

inspired by the news of the last week...

which started with something so beautiful.

a faerie tale wedding.

of a beautiful prince and a handsome princess.

in an exquisite church, decked out like an english garden.

we got swept away with it all.

we felt the love and the hope and the dreams of it all.

we escaped.

at least for just a little a while.....

just to be yanked back into reality

with the killing of a hunted terrorist.
