Oh! Butterfly Sprite, you are one lucky flying flower!
Kiss sweet Fanta Daisy, for she might just flit away with you…

the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.

May the wings of the butterfly
kiss the sun,
then find your shoulder to light on.
To bring you luck,
happiness and riches.

Today, tomorrow and beyond.
Irish Blessing

Things you do not use or love •
Things that are untidy or disorganized •
Too many things in too small of a place •
Anything unfinished •

Each morning see some task begin, each evening sees it close.
Something attempted, something done.
Has earned a night’s repose. Henry Longfellow

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another.
But above all, try something. Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
