Today's Tale . . .
A Land Without a Queen
The land is quiet
the land is still
the land has no Queen
she's gone
on a mission
to bring enchantment
to the dark world
the world that lost its enchantment
that forgot
now she is lost
lost in the dark world
now she's forgotten
what enchantment is
but
slowly
she is remembering
finding her way in the dark
sharing the gifts she brought
the enchantment
one day she will go home
a land without a Queen
waits . . .
This is magical...love the painting and poem :)

Love the story, yep, sometimes we get lost in our own dark. But what is awaiting us is beautiful and awesome. Blessings, Janet PPF

Julie, your painting is beautiful. I love the colors but the textures and of your details really held my attention. The queen has so much to offer both to the world and her land. I know both will be so grateful for her gifts.

This is so awesome..I was just thinking about your paintings today and how perfect they would be for a hospital (especially this one!!) they are calming, relaxing...the colors always make me happy :) Love that castle, it's wonderful and the poem, too.

This is my favorite painting of yours! I'd love to see paintings of this whole king (excuse me) Queendom!

Your painting is beautiful. Your land really does look like it's patiently waiting for the queen to return. What a magical story. I hope the queen finds her way back!
Happy (late) PPF! It's been a great year of painting adventures and I look forward to seeing what year 2 brings for us both!
