"A Sweet Time"

'A Sweet Time' journal entry with oil pastels.
Twas a day to loosen up with yummy, creamy oilies!
Encaustic finish with beeswax and damar resin

This is a journal entry with 5 prompts. Using the prompts as symbolism, and what they mean for me.Joy,Dream,Imagine,Hope and Wish. It's about a child story , growing up, and what made me happy. A very healing exercise. One of them was the swing( symbol for freedom), my uncle's farm (riding a horse)~also a symbol for freedom. My mom's home made taffy, and home cook meal with dumplings brought me joy .The smell of warm bread filling the kitchen etched in my memory. The houses for me symbolizes warmth, home is where the heart is.What are my hope and wish for today? Hoping that one day the world will be at peace, and for everyone free of suffering and be happy! It all starts with oneself ;-)
