Folk Art white magnolia



Today, I am quite pleased with my folk art rendition of the photograph of
the white magnolia set against a blue sky.
Seeing my recent work on magnolia in bud a colleague was reminded
of a quote by writer Anais Nin.
The quote speaks to change and being swept along by a change with it being
unhealthy to resist it:
"and the day came when the risk it took to remain tightly closed in a bud
was more painful than the risk it took to bloom". (Anais Nin).
Change can be frightening as it disturbs our sense of equilibrium.
Even if the changes are positive they can still be unsettling.
Old habits and routines are familiar.
Have a take-the-risk-of- blooming-kind-of day.

Helen.
