Looking Forward

The Rest of Her Life

by F. Magdalene

She said today is the first day of the rest of her life
As if something from yesterday faded away
And a new hope had been born.
As if today’s sunrise forever burned out midnight hours and
Melted cold hard tears that slowly fell down the window of her eyes.
Today is the first day of the rest of her life.
How could she know?
How can she be so sure?
Confident, tall, proudly she saunters across the alley way to the market where fresh peaches and spring flowers line the walk.
A smile crosses her face and is contagious to his.
“Today!” she says.
Today? He says.
“Yes, the rest of my life.”
So sure.
She’s sure.

A child stands in the landscape of imagination. It is her dreamscape. Imagination, it is a child’s best friend. It should be nurtured and grown, cultivated and set free.

The fun part about this piece is how the stems of two leaves extend to create the antennas on the butterfly. Typical green ivy turned blue and gold with a touch of purple adds a fantasy quality. This is high texture, high detail and crystal clear paint/mouse strokes. Truly a fun piece to create.

Primary Colors: Green gold, fantasy green,
Accent colors: Sky blue, cobalt blue, coral, purple

Sundrip- Art for Life

As I painted this I kept thinking of a borderline personality trait called black and white thinking. I tend to see things as all good or all bad. Instead of being on one side of the extreme I’d like to be a little bit more towards the middle. The individual in the painting leans to one side and looks towards the sun. She is hopeful that one day she will stand closer to the middle of life and see gradation of tone. The world can be in full colour but when the mind has suffered a blow colours begin to look alike until finally only two are left. The division is stark: black (bad) white (good).

It is a gift to humankind to see in colour. It is my hope that I will one day regain the gift of colour, the ability to see gradations instead of black and white, all good or all bad. When I once again hold this blessing of colour, I’ll never take my eyes off it.

What is Sundrip? Sundrip is hope that drips from the sun.

Take the breath of the morning sun and run. Take the fire of the morning sun and live. Dance with it. Laugh with it. Accept the hope that the new sun brings and never forget the blessings that drip ever so lightly.
