<p>With thanks to my dear friend and amazingly talented artist, <a title="main web site Susan Moir Mackay" href="http://www.susanmoirmackay.com" target="_blank">Susan Moir Mackay</a>, for encouraging me in all creative endeavors (including Life!), and to <a title="Flora Bowley video" href="https://vimeo.com/58224937" target="_blank">Flora Bowley</a> for sharing her process and brave intuitive work via her fabulous <a title="Bloom True site" href="http://braveintuitiveyou.com" target="_blank"><strong>Bloom True</strong></a> course. So grateful for all the beauty and inspiration and grace and textures and forms and wonder in this wide world of ours—all just waiting to be embraced on canvas! So happy to be a-twirl in line and shape and shades of creative bliss when I&#8217;m painting.  And even when I&#8217;m not. The process seems to spill over and start painting new perspectives on loving what is in all the layers of day-to-day.  May the joy of whatever you like to do and make and <em>just b</em>e <em>with</em> bring you <a title="Elan Wisdom KMCC page" href="http://paulasparadise.com/elan-wisdom-creativity/" target="_blank">an ongoing source of satisfaction</a> and serendipity, especially in this season of loving generosity and holy (wholly) grace-full and heartfelt spirit.</p>
