Art again!

Before our vacation, I had made this painting especially for my sweet sister-in-law, Patti, to thank her (along with one of my scarves) for one of her excellent Vedic astrology readings she did for me. The reading blew my socks off ... and she loves the painting! It's nice when things work out like that!

If you are ever in need of a professional Vedic astrology reading (it's predictive in nature), take a look at her website here. She's amazing and has the perfect mixture of a very analytical mind and intuition that's right on! My chart apparently now has art and writing written all over it, so expect to see more paintings and read lots of blog posts!!

For this piece, I had painted the central woman first and thought I was finished, but when I looked at the painting for a day or so, I kept seeing other women around her. I call it Surrounded by Love and thought of all the dear sisterfriends in my life while I was painting it!

Thank you for all your sweet comments on my post yesterday. It's good to be back in blogland. I missed you all, my dear friends!!

  4. Hi Silke. I love this painting. I made a painting years ago of four women side by side. I've got to look or it. You reminded me of it. I love the individuality of each woman. Great work. Have a great rest of the week.

  8. Hi dear Silke,

    It is so wonderfull,
    and the meaning behind too,
    I see it as weemen from North-South-East-West--- brought together here, dosn`t matter color,country,or opinions of life, we feel sisterhood and love for each other, --I wouldn`t loose it for a million.

    You showed it in your beautifull painting.

    Hugs from Dorthe

    If you wish to save until Christmas day in the hope it arrives before then. I have wrapped in Christmas paper so you can take the cardboard part off.
