Spotlight: Dandelion Dance

June 27, 2017 Jacqueline Claire

I came to Texas on a dream - which is what the future always is - unknown, a vision, a hope. In many ways it has flourished - creatively it's been and continues to be a richly productive reality. But there was another, romantic dream - the possibility of a shared life that brought me here - that has ended.

It's moments like these when life gets really interesting - when the dream that got you so far ends and you find yourself standing in a new, dreamless place asking, "Why am I here?" And maybe that's when another kind of courage must rise. The courage to open up... to new dreams.

I invite you to join me by helping title this poignant painting - that way we can share in this together:

What do you see?

I see dreams, and wishing on a star; the rich foliage of New Braunfels, Texas against the night sky; dandelions.

Dandelions

To me they have always represented loving prayers carried off by the wind; seeds scattered; the ephemeral beauty of life.

After some research I discovered that the name actually means "lion's tooth" in French, and they represent courage, pride, connection and family. 

In a way, so perfect.

 

 

 

Perhaps it foretold all...

It began during the quick visit in April when I discovered my heart wanted to be here, that it was time to give both my long-distance relationship and visual art consistent focus. It was the first painting I completed upon my return in May.

Perhaps it's still unfolding...

Please send me your title suggestions for this painting - that this story of heart courage, of big leaps, of dreams, of this piece - may become our story.

A woman literally told me today she was replacing a GEORGIA O'KEEFE image in her home with one of mine. #lovelanguage Cool shot by a kind stranger signing some artwork. .

It's been observed that the majority of my moons are on the right side. Two new works in progress (chalk and acrylic on mixed media canvas surfaces) case in point. Interpret and analyze away! (Please tell me what this means? :)

This little lady got a drawing of herself! .
Commissioned illustrations are so fun. It's special to capture the essence of a person and create a little (JOYful) character inspired by them. Something to always remember and hold on to (I hope) ❤

Joy gives us wings! In times of joy our strength is more vital, our intellect keener, and our understanding less clouded. We seem better able to cope with the world and to find our sphere of usefulness. - Abdu'l-Bahá
