The weather is so bad just now that I have had a chance to sit at the computer and create and try out experiments using digital art software. On my new computer was a package called Paint and I quickly gave it a try. I wanted to reproduce a doodle which was done on a very sad day. Our puppy was very ill and we knew that she would probably die. We all felt very sad and I turned to a piece of paper and doodled silently while my husband took the puppy to the vet.It was strangely comforting to be able to get the feelings in the form of symbols out of my system and onto paper.

 The squiggles were symbolic of the relationship between earth and heaven- it was a very spiritual expression of how if something is dying - that their spirit gradually leaves this world to join with the other. Here it is. It was almost as if I was doing some artistic research here as I imagined what was happening to the little dog's soul as it was returning home. Her soul was like the flowers on the earth in the above picture which were blowing away and changing into another form.
