She blessed me recently with some canvases to use in my art work. These weren’t any canvases, though, they once belonged to her father, who passed away.
I knew I had to create something special on them, especially the first one.
When I was in Hollywood, I asked where her father’s apartment was and I sought it out. I wanted to get an idea visually as well as energetically what I should create in his honor. Looking at the colorful, uniquely decorated apartment buildings built closely together, I came up with the theme of “Neighbors” and created this mixed media abstract as a result.
It is different from everything else I have done. The book pages are familiar, but I love the narrow length of the canvas. It is now hanging above one of my repurposed ladders and some of my smaller word-love art pieces. When I look to the right from my desk it is what I see.
It is sort of like Michelle's Dad is being a muse to my creativity. I smile each time I see the"apartment buildings" in different languages and genres, all reflecting love and hope.
Thank you, Michelle, and thank you to her father and his partner as well. I feel so privileged to have met you.
In the Create with Joy Creative Community, members are able to share what is inspiring them. This is my contribution this week.
I hope you will check out the blog hop and join Inspire Me Monday, too.
