In my art I often symbolize youth and innocence with the colour green. I use purple and blue to express value and honor. White is usually synonymous with purity. In the painting called “Each Day A Gift” this young girl stands with her arms extended as she accepts a gift from the world that embraces her value and honors her innocent and the purity of her heart.

Art details: The young girl’s hair is made of leaves as are her wings. Purity (white clouds) are at her feet, the trees are blue and shades of deep purple. A white bright light centers her sky. This painting is based on a pencil sketch.

This is the second doll from the Charlene Doll collection here on Sundrip.
If you would like to join the list of those first notified of available Charlene Dolls please contact me via the email on the sidebar with the subject line “Doll List” How does the list work? Everyone who visits my Etsy shop has an equal chance to get a doll but those on the list are emailed with advance notice of her posting. The list is for advance notice only. It is not a list of people who have first choice.
This precious doll has angel wings and a long white dress. She’s an African-American sweetheart with big brown eyes, long eye lashes, a little nose and full lips. She stands about 22 inches tall. Angle’s hair is made of beautiful yarn. It is full and long but can be pinned up or put in a pony tail. She sparkles with sweetness.
This original, one of a kind, never to be duplicated doll was hand sewn, hand painted and created with love.
*SOLD*

This is a painting of hope and encouragement, strength and drive to reach the stars and keep a hold of them. Soar and never stop, dream and keep on hoping. Dance to your own music, sing your own songs and pray you always have the strength to do so. The following poem goes with the painting called “I Will Shine”
A robe made of feathers
Sheer but covering,
Flowing yet steady and secure.
Wrapped in white she professes to all
“I will shine.”
About this piece:
Each piece of the background has quilted edges.
The sun is medallion like
When viewed closely the female figure’s gown has a feather-like appearance.
Each piece of the background has it’s own rocky landscape texture.
The only piece of the background without a winding landscape is the sun.
The pieces all have their own boundary lines, their own existence apart from the rest. Each piece has it’s own colour. The textures are similar but no two are an exact match. These puzzle-like pieces symbolize difficulties, stops and obstacles that we face on different roads in our life. However, when all the pieces are put together and the flaws of our existence overlooked the view can be bright and beautiful. Hope is absolutely always on the horizon. Let yourself shine with it.
Availability:
For a short time greeting cards of the above painting are available at my Redbubble gallery.
Prints are available of all three paintings with a verified email account via this site or my Etsy shop. See the page FAQ for print details.
Depending on my mood my paintings can take a drastic change from very earthy colours to bright and vivid then flair with colours from the sea and sky. The second image shown is “Africa Shines” and the third is titled “Above The Sunflower So High.”
Thank you for visiting,

This fantasy painting above shows a young child sitting in thick ivy surrounded by the most beautiful parts of nature; the rainbow, a swan, a lady bug and tiny blooms.
If you look closely you can even see where the rainbow has touched the child forever leaving a glow of colour on the skin. You can see the rainbow’s kiss by the child’s feathers. Although there is much to see in this painting it’s intent is to be soft on the eyes and warm on the heart.
I hope you enjoy it.
Swan Feathers can be seen in the Fantasy Gallery here on Sundrip as well as on my RedBubble page.
