specifically for whimsies or pulled art.

She Saw With The Eyes of Love;But wasn't always understood

"She saw with the eyes of love; but wasn't always understood" is a collage , journal entry. A bit more sombre than my usual paintings. I saw a young man today walking on the street as I was driving home,pan handling.
I rolled my window down,and gave him a dollar. Oh my the glow, and life that came on his face with a toothless smile.
He said" Happy New Year, and Good Luck". I wished him..all the luck myself at that moment..hoping he would be ok.

Pages from my journal ~Finding a love bird~

One day I found a love bird munching grass......
