Intimacy..(Sheltering Heart)

This is the inspiration for this week from IMT.
Whether it is the intimacy of your studio, the intimate relationships between colors or images, an intimate knowledge of your technique, or other intimate issues, this week, let us find inspiration in intimacy.
SHELTERING HEART


This prompt came easily to me...My littlest love of my life, my grandson, who is 2 1/2 years old. Has the gentlest, most precious heart...and being his MO-MA (his choice of names for me) it is my hearts desire to guide and protect him as he reaches his stars....This is my heartfelt joy....my love for my boy and my love of my creativity that I can share with him. Both are a blessing to me.
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

    Pattie,
    Beautiful artwork and a beautiful sentiment! Hugs, Laura
    p.s. I've traded evergreens for palm trees but I still pause to enjoy the sound of wind rushing through the pines we have down here in Florida!

    It reminds me of the times when another's heart has seemed so big to me that it sprouted wings. Great reflection on the topic.

    Big smile! It looks like it could be the cover to a CD of lullaby songs.

    Pattie - this is fabulous and I just love it! What I particularly love is that the wings to me also look like open hands gently caressing the heart pair. I so love your work!
