What a real pleasure your writing is! This particular entry resonated with me because I know how it feels to find someone who has the same "starting point" and to realize as time goes on that I've "hit the jack pot big time." It took me many many more years than I would have wanted, but it was worth the wait for our paths to cross. We've been together for six years now and each day I wonder at the treasure of this relationship... This painting is so beautifully expressive of "love wings." You seem to incorporate visual meatphors that are fresh but accessible in many of your paintings. For me, they make the already lovely experience of the colors and composition so rich and full of meaning. This one, of course, says a lot to me. I'm glad you found my blog so I could find yours. Take care and enjoy your big guy and little guy:> Hi Christina,

It makes me feel all lucky and warm inside that I have a great husband, too. Do you ever sell any of your art? It's amazing. Awww, that was just beautiful.
