I'm leaving it for now but feel the negative spaces need something in them but don't know what....

Song In Her Heart

Here is my latest girly painting....

Stand still and listen to the song in your heart...

Acrylic and ink on watercolour paper,  56cm x 76cm or 22" x 30".

I have yet to put the heart shaped song/music on her heart....

 

The painting is inspired by the dress I bought to wear in America, which I love and this photo taken on Grand Haven Pier on Lake Michigan by Carol Kovach Bray.

 

The words were taken from one of my portal paintings....

The Tree of Hope and Love.

My new Tracy Verdugo inspired painting based on Wk 44 Life Book lesson....

The Tree of Hope and Love
Acrylic and ink on Canvas
44cm x 92cm

"PLANT A TREE"

He who plants a tree
   Plants a hope.
   Rootlets up through fibres blindly grope;
Leaves unfold into horizons free.
   So man’s life must climb
   From the clods of time
   Unto heavens sublime.
Canst thou prophesy, thou little tree,
What the glory of thy boughs shall be?

He who plants a tree
   Plants a joy;
   Plants a comfort that will never cloy;
Every day a fresh reality,
   Beautiful and strong,
   To whose shelter throng
   Creatures blithe with song.
If thou couldst but know, thou happy tree,
Of the bliss that shall inhabit thee!

He who plants a tree,—
   He plants peace.
   Under its green curtains jargons cease.
Leaf and zephyr murmur soothingly;
   Shadows soft with sleep
   Down tired eyelids creep,
   Balm of slumber deep.
Never hast thou dreamed, thou blessed tree,
Of the benediction thou shalt be.

He who plants a tree,—
   He plants youth;
   Vigor won for centuries in sooth;
Life of time, that hints eternity!
   Boughs their strength uprear;
   New shoots, every year,
   On old growths appear;
Thou shalt teach the ages, sturdy tree,
Youth of soul is immortality.

He who plants a tree,—
   He plants love,
   Tents of coolness spreading out above
Wayfarers he may not live to see.
   Gifts that grow are best;
   Hands that bless are blest;
   Plant! life does the rest!
Heaven and earth help him who plants a tree,
And his work its own reward shall be.
