hope.

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- HOPE always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death." Robert Fulghum

i've had one of those blissfully uninterrupted days, in the studio, headphones on, tea on the cup warmer that my sister-in-law gave me for christmas. it's been raining outside, a constant it seems this week. the photo above isn't the best, but you get the idea. i'll scan her in at a later date, but for now a photo will do. i am loving using collage elements in my paintings. i stepped away from it for awhile, but now it's back, thanks to artfest inspiration overload.

yep, what a mess it is!
