Description
This piece, along with the others I have been creating all summer on this special island… brought out some new confidence I didn’t even know was there…
This work was also featured on my first Monday’s Mood entry in years, “Gliding through uncertainty,” in hopes of sharing more inspiration and hope through art and nature experiences. Heron wisdom and confidence helped this work create a peaceful, elegant, yet determined aura – the boldness of the calm pacific northwest waters, the cool crisp air and sunshine…and this amazing bird with her steadfastness and ability to stay on task, to just be in the moment. What freedom – and herons, standing for patience, persistence – and yes, prosperity.
The most interesting of shifts I have been graced with is a phenomenal summer on a new island, even more remote than the one I have lived on for nearly 8 years. I have friends like a new family here, and I found myself immersed in a new wonderland here. A wonderland of serenity, abundance of natural experiences and, the space to create to my heart’s desire without the distractions of modern day living. My relationship with nature and my art process reached new depths through which I finally found myself in a place to share to the best of my ability how it feels – through my new Stuart Island series. 
Even the new fall rainy days create a calm that has no words. I look forward to exploring the new natural wonders…the essence of peace and the heart of what life feels like in the Pacific Northwest. A true blessing to live here amidst these challenging times for all.
I do hope you enjoy the re-emergence of not only Monday’s Mood, yet the adaptation of artwork during a time of human adaptation – changes that we must face, changes that we didn’t see coming, yet are here. I wish you all the inspiration and courage to face this new frontier, and that you stay well as we all discover new ways to grow from all of this.
As always, in Nature’s Love and Wisdom, pH
