our love is hear to stay (48" circle painting)

as i paint each piece and the deer peek through the window, sit under the tree outside my studio or the birds hop along the window sill, i am reminded of the loved ones in our lives offering support and love. these family members may be living or perhaps they have passed on -- but my studio friends whisper that they are never far from our hearts and still mindful of us. their memory gives me the strength to press forward facing life's challenges and opportunities for growth. it's a safe place with these loved ones. this painting is named after the lovely emilie-claire barlow and her love-filled song. enjoy!
