Journal Entry:
I have been at home for awhile with alot of time to paint. I started three paintings. It was what I wanted to do. I had several ideas in my head. The key with the eye is an all knowing energy source of knowlegde to the root of our hearts that is to be unlocked. It is like a GodSpeed Key in my opinion to gain understanding about life and our well being, the heart. Taking care of our center or the core of our bodies. I know that the belly button or naval is the center of our bodies but I like to think that the heart is because it is so dominate over the brain. Leaving all the remain parts of the body preliminary, secondary, and loose philanges used to send sensory messages to the dominate heart and the dominate brain. NOT sure which one you use to make decisions with but I use God. So in conclusion, the all knowing GodSpeed Eye delivers knowledge to the heart in the painting "The Key To My Heart".
The Koi fish is a fancy fish that is pretty to me while normally fish are ugly. I have an infatuation with the eyes. Who has seen fish with such pretty eyes!? LOL, so I exaggerated the fish's eye to humanize it in the waterworld in which it lives in. The last photo is of the door knocker. It is a small wooden dragonfly door knocker and attached is a blue stone glued titling TRUST. This is a 30x40 canvas painted tye dye door titled "Alice's Door". As in Alice in Wonderland's Door to her imagination while she is three feet tall. It has the grain detail of wood. Yes I painted wood and all the lines in the grain. We artists paint what we love. Guess its been a fancy fish in the pond by a magical door and key kind of life for me!

I loved your koi painting. We have had a koi pond in our front yard for many years, however, my husband took the pond apart and filled in the hole just a couple of months ago... it's very sad, and I miss them. Here is an entry with photos if you'd like to see them. http://journals.aol.com/bgilmore725/Wanderer/entries/1019
I've written lots about them, and added many photos of them. Someday, I'd like to paint them. I think your koi painting is beautiful. Bea

I appreciate your kind words in regards to the painting. Glad you like it. It has attitude and character, dont you think? Somewhat of a fancy face. Will go look at your blog...
