Thanks, Kim. I had a lot of fun creating these last year. I was really feeling the freedom to go in any direction which was so liberating.

β€œShe was 36 and had never actually bloomed though she had grown deep roots and shoots of green that wound around the trunk of her mother who had both given her shade and shelter but also taken all the light.” What a gorgeous image. Thanks for this gift of these two. I’m intrigued. πŸ₯°
