beauty among thorns

Thank you for both kind comments, Tania.

Thank you very much, Kim. 🌸

You have been such a loyal fan of my poetry and now my paintings, Dotti and for both I thank you profusely. Hugs back to you for your saccharine sweetness. 🌸

Thank you so sincerely for your thoughts, Tom. I used to have a few Bonsai and took great pleasure in caring for them. I thought Haiku was🌹 the proper form to use for this painting.

Your insightful assessments always capture the matte and gloss of my poetry, Ink. I know those are artful terms, but poetry is an art form that we both know as a means to express ourselves. As you said, "... evocative and soulful," but if we don't include those qualities in everything we write/paint, we're not being truthful to show what lies in our heart and mind. And that's not a jaded (in this context) point of view. Such a bonsai does not exist except it did in my vision. Hugs for your light. 🌙
