New Watercolor Illustrations in my Etsy Shop

Two new lovelies added to my shop today. I have had to push so hard these days to get into a space where I can be quiet enough to be simple in watercolor and illustration, my first real love.

Collage 08-20-11 B

Collage 08-20-11 B, originally uploaded by laura ferrara.

I am always drawn to the wonderful work of Laura Ferrara.
Her story is told is the simplest of forms, haunting figures pulling the viewer in.

I have been away from posting for the last few weeks due to a very tragic death to a very dear boy close to our hearts. 

Daniel was my oldest son's very best childhood friend and this event took hold of our hearts deeply...

During my usual morning catch up on emails, photo editing, etc. I happened to land on Flickr on a day when they were highlighting 'wishing trees' with beautiful pictures of healing written words hanging from trees....
I was so inspired I started a 'wishing tree' in memory of our beloved Daniel for all who loved him to go to the tree and keep his spirit alive through our hopes and dreams......blowing in the wind out to the universe drifting up so they may come true.
