Follow me into the garden of love...
Chances are you  have seen the photos of Murad Osmann  on Instagram.  
He is 1/2 of the famous couple, a  photographer who is being led around the world by his girlfriend - now wife. The shots stunning - every corner of the world in all it's glory.
Her wardrobe is equally as impressive.

You can't help but  be drawn into each possibility of adventure with them.
Last night my bears took over and asked me to follow them. 
I'm glad I did...  I needed an adventure , if only with my paint for a few hours.
A mental escape down the garden path.  

Where would you go?  
Who would you lead?
What would you do?

Follow me. Perhaps... I'll follow you.

Today I though I'd put some love out into the Universe.

My big bluejay is ready to hang.. you can not see it but it is packed with words. symbols and more. Almost every branch has a word in it. Words for me to remember. Not a peanut but a cannabis nugget, it helps save lives. With the FULL, OPEN, wide beautiful blue sky- get ready to soar!  
​
Animal symbolism of determination, assertiveness, and intelligence is also a shared trait among those who claim the blue jay as their totem (and also common attributes with those having the vocations above listed). We see these characteristics in the blue jay because it is fiercely bold against its enemies. 
The jay is fearless when it comes to protecting its partner, young and territory. So too are those with this animal as their totem. They will defend their positions against adversaries who seem much more powerful than themselves - often with successful results.
Blue jay animal symbolism resonates truth, faithfulness, and solidarity because they are vigilant in their tasks. They also keep the same mate for life, which is symbolic of endurance, patience and loyalty. The jay is an excellent symbol for those wishing to honor their long-lasting bond between friends, family and lovers.
In the spiritual realm, the blue jay speaks of clarity and vision. In Native American symbolism (namely the Sioux Nation) the azure of the jay against the blue sky indicated a "double vision" or double clarity. This visual/spiritual "blue on blue" concept speaks of purity of the soul, truth of the heart, and clarity of thought. 
In dreams the blue jay animal symbolism also deals with clarity - but of higher thoughts, and taking action. When we dream of blue jays our deeper selves may be telling us that we are not being honest with ourselves about something, and it's time to "come clean" with our thoughts. Blue jay's in dreams are also symbolic of taking action in the direction of our highest truth. The jay asks for honesty, and forthrightness - any other action taken (such as deceptive or dishonest action) will mean double jeopardy for us in our waking hours.

These spiritual and dream impressions are especially poignant because the jay is an air animal totem. Creatures of the air naturally symbolize the realm of thought, higher ideals, spirituality and the attainment of higher truth.
The Sioux also observed the jay preferring fir and oak trees for their homes and nesting areas. These trees are symbolic of longevity, endurance and strength, and so share the same animal symbolism with the blue jay.
This is not to say the jay is persnickety. On the contrary, the blue jay animal symbolism includes aspects of opportunity and advantage because it will make its home anywhere. From supermarket awnings, to mailboxes, the blue jay is extremely resourceful and makes the best out of its environment. Those with the jay as their totem are likely to be the same way. Generally easy-going, jay people are able to make a turn situations around to their best advantage, and make awesome lemon aid out of the sourest of lemons.
Blue jay's are vastly curious, stopping to peck at any shiny thing that catches their eye (much like crows and magpies). Those who resonate with the blue jay will also find themselves equally curious. Indeed, blue jay people have are always dabbling in new directions, gathering new insight, and slaking their curiosities. These people tend to be a jack-of-all trades, knowing a little bit about seemingly everything. This makes them fantastic trouble-shooters and quite resourceful (not to mention fascinating party guests).

On a positive note.. after the foray yesterday and a trip to burger priest- Storm & I went to Currys art supplies- for more- CANVAS & PAINT.  I have resolved- for those not aware to focus on painting... I'm even considering a shack in the woods, surrounded by nature to do so!!!  It's time for me to seriously focus on what I love to do the most what brings me  peace...  nature & painting.  Simple.  When God blesses me with the opportunity to do so... I'll say:  Yes! Thank you & Let's Go!!

I hope you enjoy my bigbluejay! I know I do.
What is your favourite bird? look up it's meaning you might be surprised. ;)

Swim your own risk..  Poppy is ready for adventure.
I've been coming up with some funny cartoons lately. Life related.
I've decided to make Poppy my alter Ego and draw more strips.

This painting  took me a while, I started it in the spring when my friend came to paint and could not seem to complete it, first it was a goldfish then Poppy, today it is finished.  Sometimes it just takes a while for something 'click.
You will see there are sharks in the water Poppy.. it's never just simple swimming fun.
You never know who swims in the shadows.  
The octopus is on our side so all is good, it's  powerful purple presence is passionately perplexed by Poppy.
I finished it today thinking of new adventure, forgetting problems of the day.  
If God puts it in front of me - I am taking the chance -  Me & Poppy! 
Wether it is an actual adventure or one in painting, cartooning... It's all ONE big adventure.
Bring it on!!  

It's my new painting for my bathroom so I can sit and ponder at the swim ahead every morning.  
hee hee

I have a NEW bigger canvas waiting..
Black.. Not for long.
