Led by my heart and soul, my eager mind- that may take reign the other way around- whichever way I'd paint it, one will find a multi-layered image, soft, but sound. Inside each layer, glow red hearts of love; mixed in, gold suns for optimism, hope. White doves with wings for faith in God above adorn a prayer that lifts my will to cope. The painted flowers, swirling in designs, would show poetic and artistic flair, while trees and winding rivers offer signs that love of nature shapes my peaceful air. My mind- a work of creativity- enhanced by needs for productivity. February 23, 2018 ~1st Place~ Contest: February, Week 3 Sponsor: Brian Strand Judged: 02/15/2019 ~1st Place~ Contest: Mind The Wet Paint Sponsor: Viv Wigley Judged: 03/22/2018 Based On: If it was possible to decorate your mind, what materials would you use, what would the design be, would it reflect your personality or your wishes, your essence?
