My Heart Aches for You

Have you ever had your heart broken by someone until you would ACHES for them? That is how I feel about Kauai. Tonight my husband brought me a small box and said, "here, this is for you". As I unwrapped the present and started to smell the aroma of my favorite island's soaps,www.islandsoap.com I was whirled away into another world. My heart began to sink and all I could think was that I MUST go back. I can feel the tears welling up as I try to describe my gratitude for the gift to my husband. My soul is now in full blown ache. I can see myself living there and spending the evening, as the sun goes down, painting. I can see the small streets with the mountains in the distance. I can feel the warm breeze of the ocean as it kisses me goodnight. Why does my heart ache so for this place. Even on our first trip there last year, I found myself crying as the plane took off and I watched "My" island disappear through the clouds......

Until I am able to be there for good, I will bathe in my wonderful soaps and live with the island love in my heart.

Aloha Nui Loa,

I have been in some sort of transition here lately. Somewhere between Paint and fabric, between realism and abstract, between grounded and flying on my pink cloud. I don't really know where I will land with my art. But I do know that this time is VERY fun and creative! Change seems to be coming with my art and I can only imagine that it will be more exciting than before. I always look forward to change. It's kind of like that thing we do, when we are sick of our surroundings, so we move the furniture and re-decorate. LOL

Here are a few of the fabric art pieces that have come out of this past couple of weeks.

Enjoy!
