That's the happiest and most 'complete' I've felt in quite some time. Are you keeping one for yourself to colour in? I decided I am. :) <br /><br />Also - enlightened butterfly! Love that so much!<br />xoxoTara Leaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029000462442532519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-47840363449431450732015-11-30T11:46:54.688-04:002015-11-30T11:46:54.688-04:00Hi Pauline.
Your post read like a Bollywood film.....Hi Pauline.<br />Your post read like a Bollywood film... it made me sad, it made me chuckle, it made me question and it ended with a big smile in my heart. THANK YOU.<br />Long walks can beat shopping (especially the frenzied, crazy kind) hollow-- any day:)<br />I love the aquamarine, blue reflective artwork of yours...introspective and calming.<br />I know what I'm getting myself this Xmas...Colour for Clarity:) I'll have to wait a bit as Amazon takes a time to deliver here.<br />Sending you a warm hug while chuckling to 'The yahoos think they can solve world problems<br />when they can't even find their own socks.' Take care my friend and enjoy your creative season.<br />Arti xxArtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455186909681790185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-17400492236455309202015-11-29T19:44:14.071-04:002015-11-29T19:44:14.071-04:00I am glad your sadness for the loss of your mother...I am glad your sadness for the loss of your mother is starting to abate. I agree we can only do what we can in our own little universe where we live. I really like your drawings, especially since accuracy in it is my weakest point and your emphasize"not to care!"Gloria j Zucarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585353549096640493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-46805311392603090142015-11-29T11:53:00.137-04:002015-11-29T11:53:00.137-04:00All of your art and photos are wonderful.

My family tells me to move on that mom is OK. I tell them I know she is, I am not OK. I don't dwell but some little thing comes up and I am a bundle of tears. So thank you for your post today.DVArtisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389131898875955178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-20670031136584069992015-11-28T21:58:11.585-04:002015-11-28T21:58:11.585-04:00Oh, Pauline, I know how you feel about the date of...Oh, Pauline, I know how you feel about the date of your mother's passing. I too have felt the thick dark clouds that engulf and suffocate, since the passing of my father, My friend, my fishing buddy, my kindred spirit. Some days I feel full of life and others I just want to curl up and sleep, and cry.<br /><br />This is such a beautifully written post accompanied by heart filled art. You have touched my heart. <br /><br />I am so proud of you for reaching one of your dreams. It is not the size of the dream that is important, it's that you made it come true! A lot of us dream, but that is all we do, dream. You actually made it happen and that is commendable.<br /><br />I am also starting to feel more motivated to create art and write. The coziness of late fall and early winter seem to settle my soul and free my mind to create, too. <br /><br />Hopefully, winter will be a lot more gentle on you this year!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your wonderful art and heart with us!<br /><br />Best wishes to you,<br />Renee Renee Dowlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273939833989232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-8591235472890059662015-11-28T11:50:17.534-04:002015-11-28T11:50:17.534-04:00Pauline you need to add the link http://www.amazon...Pauline you need to add the link http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=COLOR+FOR+CLARITY+<br /> on your post....and an American amazon link too!!

It's a counterbalance to the Black Friday thing, although I'm not sure it's working.<br />Besides, it's not black Friday, it's more grey, wet and dismal Friday! Time to get out the yellow crayons then :)Nigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000098999820317914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-22044108465239110482015-11-27T16:20:11.903-04:002015-11-27T16:20:11.903-04:00What a thoughtful post, and really poignant art to...What a thoughtful post, and really poignant art to accompany it.

Always such profound writing and thoughts. All your so called bad drawings are so happy! I do love them! Congratulations having book in hand!! I am with you about black Friday and boxing day too! I think I have only ever shopped once on boxing day when Cupcake was a teen, she got some terrific deals during a time our budget was really stretched! Other than that it's a sad trade off. Thanks for sharing all the beauty that is you!<br /><br />Hugs GigglesGiggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713143985984314202noreply@blogger.com
