I Found my Voice!

Well friends, I don't know how it happened or why it happened at this time, but it seems that I have found my artistic voice. Out of all the playing and experimenting has come this series of animal paintings that seem to find no end.
I love painting them and I love sending them into the world to those who connect with them!
My mind is on overdrive with ideas, but otherwise beautifully quiet.
It's a feeling that I have had for the first time in my 48 years on this earth - the feeling that I am expressing all of me. I'm going to have to get used to that...
But I like it. And I like what's pouring out of me. I hope you do, too!!



Our cat Louie was the model for the cat and the wren is one of the many who live in our garden in total peace with our three cats! It's only natural that they should be in a painting together....
The horse and coyote have sold already, but the kitty with the wren is still in my Etsy Shop.

Wishing you a beautiful week!! With love and gratitude,

Silke
