    In August 1998 I asked Tom to cut me some circles out of thin plywood because I wanted to do some circle painting to hang out in the garden. He just rolled his eyes, but found me half a dozen varieties of boards that met my requirements.
 

   
        I  took my creations to a friend and she was so excited she told me I needed to use house paint because she felt these were going to be very popular. That winter I designed and painted almost every day. The following summer, I sold 125 paintings! Last count, I have sold over 1600 paintings some of which have been shipped around the world.
    
     I was nearing retirement age when I began this “work.” During this pandemic I came to the realization that it is time to share my gifts. Perhaps it will encourage you to find your passion and follow it as I had the luxury of doing. (I had one summer of art classes when I was 14 and that is all!)
    
     These paintings are designed to connect people to their gardens and sacred places through the kind of energy intended for each painting. The stories and poems explain the energetic journey I was on and what they meant to me as they were being born.

    Today is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Self-isolating as a planet means the Earth is healing. We all need to remain positive and strong at this time. It feels right to share this body of work  with you at the end of the day to give you something positive to ponder before bed.

     I will continue to post as time and energy allow.
     Make great dreams ... love dee

Last April 22, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of Earth day. I am sure that some of us were not able to feel it because we are caged at home because of this pandemic. But since the world might not be suffering from too much pollution cashed by people, the only thing we could pray right now is the possibility of earth in its healing process. I am sure that there is less pollution now, so this is a good opportunity for Mother Earth to heal.
