"Sensational..."

...another card in my whimsical "sensitive floral" series...:)

Happy Blooming Tuesday!

"Meet Serendipity..."

...another whimsical artist trading card from my

sensitive floral series.

When I started to draw her I had no idea or plan

of what she would look like.

Stroke after stroke...she simply appeared.

Such fun!

“Serendipity.

Look for something, find something else,

and realize that what you've found

is more suited to your needs

than what you thought you were looking for.”
~Lawrence Block

"Getting Emotional..."

Introducing..."Sensitive"...

card #1 in my new whimsical floral ATC series.

I feel

I am just like her these days...

super sensitive and frail...suffering from

oppressive humidity, heat, swarms of bugs, and other

inevitable Midwest summertime penances.

They are sucking the life

out of my energy...

and are holding me captive in my own home!

At the present time, mid morning, here in corn country,

it is 88 degrees with a sultry dew point

of 81...Amazon jungle levels...

making it feel like a soggy wet 105!!!

Personally, if I am going to be hot and uncomfortable...

I prefer the arid heat and the

dusty brown

powerful haboobs of the desert southwest...

to this rainforest-like mugginess.

Unlike me...

my Muse is having a great time...being held captive inside

she is drawing up a storm of her own!

“We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure
without
being more sensitive to pain.”
