Simply Soaring

                                          (Note: This painting (top) replaces the one below
                                           because I put more emphasis on the dragonfly as
                                           well putting more "Pop" in the painting.  Thank you!)

"Simply Soaring"


This painting is about a dragonfly that is just "simply soaring" over water lilies and pads that
are sitting over the water.   Around fourteen years ago, my husband bought a necklace with
a dragonfly pendant which he still has.  At first, I was not exactly fond of dragonflies which 
is mainly because of its name, but I saw that it is actually a beautiful type of fly that I forgot
what it actually symbolizes.  However, I have for a very long time found that there is some-
thing very special about water lilies beside my strong liking to Monet's paintings of water 
lilies.  It is that those beautiful flowers went through some slime and muck before they ever 
blossomed.  Now, that is inspirational to me because it is a comparison of how we must 
go through the "yucky stuff" before we can ever blossom from the help of the Lord, Jesus Christ.  

P. S. I redid this painting because the one on the bottom gave me a rather incomplete feeling as well
 I strongly felt as though I needed to add some extra "pop" to this painting.  This is what I call my
 "Painting Revival" which is to add more "Uumph" & "Pop" to the original painting.)

Mug, Favorite, Polka-Dot Challenge, Daily Paintworks Challenges, Prized item

                       "Favorite Prized Mug"

     This was a real prized mug to and for me since my husband, George, gave it to me as a gift.  If I correctly remember, both of us saw this and other mugs in a shop in Fairhope, Alabama around December 1994.  I really "oohed-and-aahed" over it as well begging George to buy it for me - which he did.  It was around Autumn in 1995 when I entered in a contest named "Favorite Mug" through WALA, then Channel 10, Television station in Mobile, Alabama.   All I need to do was to send the picture of the mug, myself holding the mug, and write a story about why does this mug hold such a very special meaning to me.  Then, I went ahead with all of the necessary requirements.  One day within a month or so, I received the letter stated that my mug was the winner.  It was hard to tell who was more elated, me or my husband, George.  My prize was a bag of coffee along with the recognition on that same television program on a weekday morning show.  For more pictures on me and this mug, please see this FaceBook reference address below:
