 This week I’m reminded of an art project that I did this past year which was a favorite for me because I created it for my cousin to give as a Christmas gift. Here are some snapshots of the artwork: A couple portraits of my cousin's daughter’s new baby boy…

My New Trip Around the Sun ~ Wishing the Whole World Peace, Hope, Joy and Love

12/4/2016

Like awaiting the advent of the earth's new revolution around the sun marking growing daylight again, and like the anticipation and celebration of a birthday - - the birth of a son, a baby king { "Joy to the world… Let heaven and nature sing." } , I look forward to December 25th because that day also happens to be my birthday when I will celebrate my own annual "new trip around the sun". 

Through the years, I have enjoyed painting and hand crafting my own Christmas cards. This is one of my favorite cards which I made to give to friends & family for Christmas 2000. The painted cards were also tree ornaments since I strung a loop of gold thread through the top of each card.

The painted Christmas ornament cards I created were based on my original “Tides of Eternity” clock that I designed in the late 1990’s after my sons were born.  ~  I wrote more about my original “Tides of Eternity” design here on my “About” website page and also in my “May The Road Rise to Meet You” blog post.  ( ...and shared some other versions of my ornament here on my *Tides of Eternity Art* facebook page. )


My "Tides of Eternity" clocks illustrate the changing time of day through a series of painted trees that circle the center of the clock face. By coloring the changes in the foliage of the circling tree along with the rising & setting sun, my creation colorfully relates the changing time of one day to the changing seasons of one year.

My original "Tides Of Eternity" creation is a completely hand-painted and hand-crafted working clock that I designed spontaneously in 1998. ~ I now understand it as a sort of "mandala", but at the time when I created it I had never heard the word mandala nor did I know what one is. { In my mind, the process was propelled by something along the lines of the cliché “one day at a time.” …Though through the many layered processes of creating it, it was and continues to be clear to me that I can endlessly find timely and timeless personal and universal meaning in each “Tides of Eternity” piece.​ }


​*Someday I will have to do a more in depth blog about this artwork because there is much more to this creation than could ever show in pictures.

Today as I decorate my home and prepare for the wonder and beauty of this season and its anticipation for the 25th of December, I say...

Cheers to Christmas! I am ready for another round...


Wishing the whole world Peace, Hope, Joy and Love...

​…And may all your wishes come true!

    I am a 'self-taught' artist who can hardly remember a day when I wasn't in the process of creating something... Thanks for visiting my site where I can share some of my work.
