The Beach and The Bride...

Sea Shells and Birds

So, my inner voice wouldn't be quiet anymore and I had to express myself. A coupla weeks ago, I went to the beach with dear friends. Finally! my craving to be with my peacekeepers was to be satisfied. The Sun, the Sand, the Water and that intoxicating Scent of the ocean were all together. I played in the water for a while getting stung by the salt water in my eyes and being pelted with sand balls by a little Munchkin. Dry off a little bit and jump right back in. And then I went for a walk, calmed by the scented breeze and the water at my feet. The sight of sea snails and lil crabs burying themselves deep in the sand waiting for another wave to wash them out to sea. But the one thing that inspired me the most were the mussel shells. They came in various colours and sizes and textures and this incredible sensation that something lived in that empty shell and even what's left behind is so stunningly beautiful!

But there was a person  who also inspired the colour and the texture and the emotion behind this painting. She is a very special friend of mine who always reminded me that even if we don't talk, each of us have that special little place in our hearts for each other. She found another piece to her life's puzzle and  in that  beautiful white gown amongst all that purple and gold. And now her little mussel shell's gonna explode into something special and beautiful!

Everytime I paint, I leave a little piece of me in each of them. It feels like fairy dust, and  everytime I see them, I know that I have what it takes to bring out the best in me.
