The coolest thing happened in my painting.....

I am doing a mixed media piece with leaves. The most amazing thing happened and it's never happened in any of my pieces.

Yesterday, I was looking at the beautiful mixture of colors I used and all of sudden out of one of the free standing forms.....I see a bright blue dolphin with a baby beside it. It even has an eye.

I keep looking at the piece, trying to decide which way I like it the best (it's an abstract) and all of a sudden, to the right, a perfectly shaped dolphin head with a smiling mouth. Ok, so now I know that piece is go this one way.........3 dolphin shapes....... this is a sign of my heart and where my mindset is now to save them.

To the left, I see another bright orange big whale like looking fish, which sympolizes my cause in general for marine conservation.

I was so excited I called Brett over to look........and then all of sudden kept seeing even more little dolphin shapes everywhere. (He smiles)

When I do my art.....it comes from my mind of course, but so much of my mind is my heart. Some of us are wired that way (you know it if you are one of us!)

If I had tried to create a painting with dolphins, it would have been impossible.

God knows my heart.......my heart knows the killing and capturing of these HIGHLY intelligent

loving animals has to stop!

The worldwide "Save Japan's Dolphin" protest is Thursday Oct. 14. Today I'm making 6 posters......so if you show up without one, I will have one for you.

We start at 4pm. There may be other groups of dolphin protesters starting at 12noon.

We will be at the Japanese Consulate at the Renn. Center. Around the world people will be letting Japan know we are no longer going to tolerate what they are doing to our dolphins. To the oceans too for that matter..........but this protest is to save dolphins.

I hope you will join me.......and all of us around the world who know dolphins do not deserve this treatment. They should be allowed to live their lives in the beautiful oceans with their families, NOT in a pool or having some kid hanging on it's fin in captivity. That's what horses are for.
