"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

The Joy of Enough!

Dotty added the line "the joy and enlivenment of ENOUGH" in the comments on yesterday's post.  I absolutely love that notion.....and it can apply to almost every aspect of our lives.  

This bloom stopped Margaret in her tracks yesterday....

she also thought that no words were needed.....the image on its own was enough

Here's another free motion experiment....the stripes in the flowers were 
added with pen. I think they add a touch of whimsy and 
give a nod to the stripes in Margarets bloom.


I took it one step further and added a few yellow petal parts.


And I'm chuckling at myself because I probably should have let that be enough!
But I took it one step even further and added Dotty's line!  Smaller would have been better....cursive...or at least a mix would have been even better.
But it is what it is...and it's more than enough.

    both additions provided a touch of visual complexity that enlivened and enriched this piece and, if [ ] "would have been even better," you can explore further in another piece on another day based on what you've discovered thus far en route : )
