Inspired by the chaos of the world. The lunacy running amok creates confusion. It is like some insidious plan to keep one off balance. Solution: unplug and focus within oneself. It clears away the craziness that makes one miserable.

I am inspired by the feeling of hope for the future. Knowing that everything will work itself out in the end. Psalms 23:4 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” I think of this when I look at my creation.

Flowers inspired this precious piece. Deep earthly tones wrap my soul in comfort. The delicate gold lines fill my heart with gratitude for the beauty that surrounds me. Each flower a gentle reminder to enjoy the moment, no matter how brief.

Bonus closeup...Too good not to share.

Sinking down the rabbit hole. This is my interpretation of water currents. They bring life to other areas. Flowing like a highway. Interesting to me the karma found in the nature.

Autumn in New England is interesting. In the morning you wear a winter coat because the temps hover around the freezing mark. By the afternoon, you are wearing shorts. Makes me feel like a ping pong ball. I think the insects are feeling the same way. This represents how it feels. Snow one minute... getting followed around bee the next.

Down the rabbit hole of time. Night and day is the theme in this piece. The background contains gears overlaying a evening sunset which symbolizes time. Day and night are represented by the three figures riding on the fish. This is my interpretation of the flow in a 24 hour day.

17 days to go!! I saw a video once that told about jumping. Taking that leap of faith and doing what we dream about doing. He had warned that we would probably fail the first time. Cuts and bruises are expected but at some point we would soar... know it. It is better to risk it all than to stand at the edge and play it safe. This is my interpretation of a bird after trying to flying and falling. Dizzy, confused, and shaking it off so he can try again. Odds are heavy in his favor. If you are interested in the video I am talking about, look up Steve Harvey jump.

This is my interpretation of the time I spent in Florida. Surrounded by clean, bright colors and ocean waves that fill my memories. It surprised me at the time how clean everything was. The buildings and sidewalk all immaculate. I don’t find that here in New England. A little slice is of heaven on earth.

Spiraling down the rabbit hole inside debates. This is my interpretation of what the last debate felt like. A whirlwind of emotions, noise coming from all directions. Dizziness fills my head. It matters little what side you are on in the confusion. Let me take a moment to breath.

Adventures down the rabbit hole in a lush jungle. Two birds again perch themselves in this fine art piece. Inner reflection tells me they represent husband and wife. The pair venturing the jungle of life together.

Take the trip down the rabbit hole of my subconscious. There is softness in my heart when I am reminded of my kids pajamas. Happiness takes over and a smile comes out. This is what I see in today’s piece. My daughter’s old pajamas pants in purple with light blue dots. They were one of her favorites. She wore them so much they got huge holes in the knees. Like stuffed animals that got loved so much their fur worn off. When people are loved that much, they shine because the love removes the tarnish from the soul.

Journey down the rabbit hole of my mind. The dragon next to many portals is telling me there are many choices to be made. Each one leads to something different. The dragon looks to be breathing fire. When I looked that up I read it symbolizes out-of-control emotions. This fine art piece would then suggest I need to get a hold of my emotions before making any decision. No good decisions are ever made with out-of-control emotions.

Down the rabbit hole we go, dancing all the way. The dance of Spring comes to mind in this piece. I know, it is Autumn here. My subconscious mind does not know the difference. It is Spring somewhere.

Down the rabbit hole with energy. Ever have a number keep showing up in your life? Had this happen to me this week in the strangest of ways. It is like the universe is saying hi. This represents the cosmic energy playing with the numbers. Making us wake up a little at a time.

Whimsical thoughts of the coming holiday season. Twinkling lights, balls of color, and the music playing wherever I go. This represents those glorious feelings of warmth and love for holidays.

Journey down the rabbit hole of confusion. In the wee hours last night confusion set in. I did not know what day it was. Have you ever had that happen? It was a loss to me. I realized I have no anchor points in time as a reference. Felt like I was taken out of the time line of existence. This represents that feeling of floating with no roots to hold me down.

My first thoughts was of a garden with roses. A peaceful piece that morphed into a dragon. Score one for the subconscious. Showing me once again how chaotic my mind is.

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! This fine art piece represents starting points. Most people might think of a dot is the end of a thought, like at the end of a sentence. I see things differently. I vision it as a starting point. A jumping off mark for a journey to discover something new. So many thoughts and adventures to take. Which one do we choose?

As if doing this challenge for a year was not enough... a pandemic came along. What a time we all have had in 2020. The list is too long of all the events that happened. Safe to say it feels like a roller-coaster ride... filled with both fear and excitement. This represents how it felt for me.

Remnants of self floating in the sky represents the images we see in the clouds. Projections from our subconscious mind that tell us what we need to know. When was the last time you looked at the clouds?

Inspired by this rollercoaster called life. How often do you come across a meme with some mom guzzling a bottle of wine? Could it be reflective of how hard parenting can be in today’s world? Not for nothing, it could cause one to grab for that glass. This represents that craziness that occurs with parenting. I still wouldn’t change it. The hugs from my kids make it all worth it.

Thoughts of the coming Holiday season, colored lights twinkling, gold foiled wrapping on the presents. My kids faces when the run to the tree Christmas morning. Excitement as they open their gifts. This is what I find so special and fill me with hope.

Battle rages within the prison of fear. Individual vs collective with no side winning. The truth hidden behind the shroud. This represents the war that continues.

11 days left... I can not believe how close I am. This piece represents a Buffalo on fire. Lessons of the past have not been learned. Find myself stunned at the repeat of history before eyes. Wondering when the insanity will stop and clearer heads will prevail.
