Mixed Media Monday - Inspirational Words

I have always been fascinated by words…even as a child. I would uncover a delicious sounding word while I was reading and I would run for the dictionary to discover its meaning. My thesaurus was always handy so that I could find “just the right word”. I find that words can also transform a piece of artwork and act as a jumping off point for interpretation. On Mixed Media Monday this week we are to use a word that inspires us…in my case “Grow”. It is something that I seek to do in all aspects of my life and comes from living, learning, relating with others and experiencing.

Wow Heather, I really love this one. The word grow is definitely inspirational and a great word. And you certainly have a way with words.

There's a lot going on in this piece. It's so interesting and delightful to view it and study it. The background is wonderful with so many colors and textures and details. Lots of interest there. The image is perfect, and I love the flowers and butterflies. The message conveyed is so fitting and true. This is a totally beautiful piece.

My art piece arrived yesterday. I'm in love with it. I sent you an email about it. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you so very much, friend.
