This painting is special to me. The title, "I'm Gonna Let Myself Be Lifted," 48x60" is inspired by the song, Hallelujah, by Ma Muse. The first time I heard this song was in my singing circle. It lifted my spirits and made me feel like dancing. It quickly became one of my favorite songs to listen to in the studio!
The painting was inspired by a vision of a healing and happy echinacea flower field with swallow-tailed kites hovering above. These magnificent flyers always bring delight to me and my husband. Whenever we spot the first one flying in the air, we stop whatever we are doing and celebrate their return usually in early fall and spring. They seem to visit our property only for a few short weeks. We watch their graceful swoops in between our tree tops and listen for their charming singing voices. It lifts my spirits to see them!
