Wordless Wednesday~ Snow Day

Becoming.

Night surrounds me, folding me into her ink-black sky.
Soft, yet unyielding, she is strewn with stars and dripping with dreams
I drink her magic and lick my lips to get every drop of her.
She whispers ancient words full of secrets which I already know;
Memories of a thousand lives that go on forever.
And I remember them, each one.
Small pieces of them, like threads torn from a tapestry, still live in me
Pulsating with my blood, strong and bold.
Wrapped into my soul, quiet and delicate.
My soul- which has loved children innumerable
And given itself to my beloved countless times-
Feels immense in the vastness of Night and I stretch across that ink-black sky,
Unraveling, no longer afraid, knowing All and Nothing,
until I am one with Night herself.

Painting...

I have been painting as long as I can remember. 

I have given many as gifts. 

 I painted many pieces of furniture and walls for customers- 

 it seems a past life when I was a muralist and furniture refinisher. 

I have never sold a painting on a canvas, however. 

Never just painted a blank square of canvas, just to paint. 

It is with excitement (and a small case of nerves) that I offer this mermaid up to the public on Ebay. 

I have started the bidding extremely low for a painting that took hours to complete. 

But I really want this beauty to find a home. 

 And I do have plans for more paintings (if this one goes well)! 

Please do stop be here and give her a look. 

Perhaps she would lovely hanging on your wall.
