January 2016 Day 12 Painting Challenge

HeartScape: Blue One

Someone told me the other day how sad she felt after hearing some distressing news. Feeling blue would wash over her, but not for too long. I envisioned a blue heart, with a warm energy swirling around and through it. Blue, to me, is a quiet and serene color, very calming and soothing.  It is the sky and the ocean. Seeing vast stretches of blue invites me to take several slow, deep breaths and almost feel myself inhaling the color. 

Blue One is made of Corriedale, silk tops, cotton and assorted beads.
