Hi Valerie... Nice painting, thanks for sharing it. It kicked you right back cause they are glads(?) (such a happy flower that always makes me smile too) Toodles, xxxtg hmmm...i wonder if you could be right the subliminal implication of the name of the flower working with other influences to set the soul free from the imaginary shackles that comes with co-dependancy. I mean - we as humans ARE that sensitive and I wouldn't doubt it. the smallest things we take for granted are inspired by spirit - i bet nobody here'd be surprised, but especially with art - when the creative juices get flowing within a composition, it is just like a majestic prayer, leaving nothing to chance, no matter how random it feels at the time! :-) valerie <snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen! Do you suppose the way in which we relate to others can work like that too? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen! Do you suppose the way in which we relate to others can work like that too? David Hi David, IMnsHO, it's all just a matter of taste. As we can see, this war we're waging is a "holy war" to the Islamics, with all these suicide missions making them martyrs for Allah, while many of us would beg to differ, as they are slaughtering hundreds of innocent people along with them. And we know how artists who lived so close to the edge for God like Van Gogh - who was an actual priest or was it a monk at one time - ends up in the funny farm and only sells one painting during his lifetime of poverty. So - actual prayers to God they might be - the paintings, the poems, the inspired words - but if the other people don't *git it* - it might remain just betwixt the artist and God! Making it excellent for mental health and spiritual life for an individual, mind you - but fame and fortune may be elusive if one's inspirations are solitary. Fact is - in some cases they might lock people up shriekin' "But God told me to do it! (say it, paint it, sing it whatever)!!" LOL - Tha's why - we gotta be pure at heart an fast on our feet, imho... :-) valerie oh yeah! and stay as amused as possible! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
