Ultimately, magic finds you if you let it.
~Tony Wheeler
This one is so whimsical! I had fun painting it. It began as a crazy ink background on aquaboard with lots of bright colours. I toned it down with a deep frame, only to realize it then looked like a crazy Easter egg... not my goal! Then I had this idea of doing silhouettes (and I love elephants) so it finally emerged. So the whole process was a bit magical itself...
This quote reminds me to notice the magical things in each day. Finding a simple but lovely feather dropped by a bird, having a plant bloom for the first time and the scent of my favourite perfume as I get dressed. An artistically done latte, being able to touch my toes effortlessly (after a lot of hard work to get there) and the fact that after almost ten years, my husband still makes me laugh all the time. This is the magic that finds you, if you let it.
I will continue to let it!
