Layers and layers of paint explode from a vase, the flowers overflow to become the sun, from whence they came. Time overflows in life and creation, full circle perhaps. Again the concept of heavenly flowers are never far from my mind, I had a dream once, I was in heaven it was beautiful, full of colour, it is this garden which presses into my life.

This couple I remember specifically. The Man was I think an angel, he was tall and handsome, he told me he worked for a charity. He looked into my eyes kindly and asked . If you could do anything what would you do? I’d paint Was my instant reply. He continued to look at me and said. Don’t waste your talents. The following day I chatted over my dreams. I’d always painted, yet now everything had changed. I felt helped and guided in my destiny. As a youngster at Sunday school I was taught to be kind to everyone as The Bible said they may be angels in disguise. The couple I was serving I always believe we’re Angels In Disguise..
