Along with painting, Mother Nature always gives me solace…..and so during a very difficult time in the UK….I give you the hope and energy of a glorious sunflower.
And of course a magical hummingbird soaring above all the madness……
Enjoy the weekend…

Reblogged this on Mark Geoffrey Kirshner.

Thank you; Nature is Home..
Indeed it is. Have a lovely weekend. Janet:)
Janet, you have such a strong bond with Mother Nature. This sunflower truly emanates energy. xx
Thank you so much, and yes I do….Mother Nature for me is where I go to be healed, to be reminded of what’s important in the world, and also to be reminded of how ultimately, insignificant human kind is! Wishing you a beautiful weekend. Janet:)xx
It is so true what you are saying! When we know our humble place in the world, we are more perceptive to everything the Universe sends our way. xx
Much needed and beautiful sunflower, Janet. Keep smiling and laughing! xxx

This is so lovely and uplifting for a dark day in the world, your paintings have so much power Janet!
Thank you, Athena….wishing you a peaceful weekend…Janet.x
I came across this again. So funny.. I was thinking to myself, what palette should I use? Go outside. So I went out in the middle of the night, dark green dark blue..Close as an eye can get to black..Beautiful!
Have a wonderfully creative weekend…I am sure you will:)
Most definitely! Wishing you the same!
Truly a master of expressing your feelings through your art – nature has a way of helping to distract us from dark days. Your paintings bring forth a positive field of energy Janet . . .
Good morning, Mary….thank you so much for this lovely comment..it pleases me greatly. I believe that we artists need to bring something positive to our very troubled world….and so on that note, I wish you a beautiful and creative week ahead. Janet – p.s. am doing a lot of painting right now – the best response to it all:)
Hope you post so we can enjoy your beautiful work and talent.
