This painting, Embracing Change, like David Whyte poem, Before you Go, fills me with memories of childhood - when the mossy, low-reaching branches of trees beckoned me to be fearless. To climb up, up, up into the branches' safe embrace. To take chances. To live fully. To “go where I need to go.” Nature still holds that heady lure for me, and remains the foundation of my art inspiration. …BEFORE YOU GO See with every turning day, how each season wants to make a child of you again…
