NEAR GOD'S HEART IN A GARDEN




"The Kiss of the Sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God's
Heart in a garden,
Than anywhere else on earth."
Dorothy Frances Gurney

This is the collaged canvas that I showed yesterday. I worked all day on it but not sure if I love it. Don't know why. Sometimes, things aren't just quite right and I can't put my finger on it. Maybe Mattie Lou created this---then, if so, --- it's just right. I actually think she did. No offense, Mattie Lou, I just didn't recognize you for a minute there.
Mattie lou is my little child artist inside. No, I am not on medication for this. It's an art thang...

  3. This is wonderful Martha, it has an innocence about it so maybe your inner child did paint it, LOL. Tell you inner critic to be still - I love it.
