I made this ATC today, with a gentle focus and a quiet mind, it was peaceful and felt very lovely.
We have a beautiful oak tree in the middle of Scalm on the edge of the golf course, it’s enormous, incredibly beautiful and must be many moons old. It meant a lot to dad and it means a lot to me and my family. It quietly stands guard over the farm and feels like an anchor.
I wanted to draw oak leaves today because to me they symbolise strength and the importance of deep roots and it helped me to feel connected, grounded and just a little bit better. Art has a wonderful way of evoking the characteristics of your subject matter. It can transform your experience, take you to another place, and amplify certain qualities you may want to be in touch with. Right now I’m holding onto strength.
As always, thanks so much for being here and for all those with an inner child that loves Care Bears, ‘you’re welcome’.
