'Returning' May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true,
and the kindness you spread keep returning to you. -An Irish Blessing

Blessed
I am blessed to have those who showed up
When the load was too heavy.

'Patience' If you meet someone in the middle of their story, love them
for who they are, not for what you want them to be. The opportunity for
growth is daily. Just because your expectations aren't met today, doesn't
mean they won't be in the future... be patient. -J. Alan

'All Of'
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
'Cause I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you.
-John Legend

For Every
May God give you…
For every storm, a rainbow.
For every tear, a smile.
For every case, a promise and a
Blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends, a
Faithful friend to share.
For every sigh a sweet song and an
Answer for each prayer.
An Irish Prayer

* Enough *
* Be strong enough to stand alone. *

* But, be wise enough to stand *
* Together when the time comes. *

Seek
Live with passion, be engaged,
And seek to do what fascinates, scares
And intimidates you because
Life is both rich and short.

Foundation… A strong woman is one who can build a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at her. -unknown
The background of this vertical 48x30” acrylic painting has the wisdom of antique gold and copper that a highlight the unconscious beauty of its auburn base color. The gold and copper paint also tempers an ebony frame that harbors the essence of strength from an unaccompanied tree. Three pronged metal plates wrap around each corner of the canvas to embellish and provided protection. On the bottom front two corners, gears embrace small clock hands to remind us to keep looking forward. In the middle of the bottom edge, gears also surround a heart shaped lock. This artist signature accent, represents the determination it took to decipher the love in the artist's heart. The solitary, yet elegant arbors show the dignity it takes for all generations to succeed. The enduring branches reveal delicate metal flora as well in subtle paper like flowers representing elegant fortitude. The strength of the metallic gears surround small locks that serve as a reminder that we have an internal key to control whatever may come our way. –Kym Loc

Traverse Awakening
I understood myself
Only after I destroyed myself.
And only in the process
Of fixing myself, did I know
Who I really was.

Forged…. Some people come into our lives and forge such an impression on our heart and soul that we are changed forever. –unknown
A mix of metallic acrylics are
diffused together to forge a rousing background that fully covers this 24x24”
canvas. This obscure mix of sensual copper, rustic and bright gold and dark
ebony creates a marbled background that surprisingly adds not just an essence
of strength, but also of comfort. A golden new moon peaks out from the chaos to
enlighten two human like weeping willows. These two onyx trees are dusted with
a relic of gold reminding us that our surrounding affect us. They entangle with
each other forging a notable bond reminding us of the people who have come into
our lives, no matter how long they stay, and leave an impression of
appreciation. –Kym Loc
