“The Wisdom Keeper” is the latest piece on my easel.
It is mixed media on canvas.
Today's Tale
She was born on the Summer Solstice
the day most likely to connect with the fae
inside her she held
magic
beauty
enchantment
but somehow she let it slip away
the fae came to her
when she needed them most
the fairies, the mermaids
all manner of nature spirits
arrived
and reminded her
of what she held
and the enchantment
was alive once more . . .
I started this blog to share my art and poetry and thoughts on life. Lately I've been thinking about what I really want my message for this blog to be. I know we live in a world of polarity, dark and light and every shade of grey. I know we can get caught up in the darkness, the fear, the sadness of this world. But I also know in this world is incredible delight. So my message is a reminder to myself and others that this world is a place of beauty, magic and enchantment. Is it possible to live in a place of enchantment most of the time? All of the time? In the near future I hope to explore and share this even further. And I will scatter sparkling breadcrumbs on the path. :)
Enjoy the Summer Solstice.
Love and Beauty,
Julie

Hi Julie,
Quite different from your usual style. Love the colours. I've been thinking along similar lines, not only about dark / shade and light (which I've been thinking about in connection with life generally but also with being on the Internet, where it's easy to be overwhelmed by the nastier elements) but also regarding what message I want my new blog to be putting out there. Looking forward to seeing how you progress your message here.
