She was In The Pink. GOOD HEALTH
Femme Flourishing.
Underneath the warm rosé sky,
the Queen Of Hearts drifted in the calm and quiet.
The purest sound of silence.
Gentle plops broke her reverie.
She was surrounded by small Billy Button flowers.
Little yellow sunbursts , floated along with her.
An Australian native , Craspedia , spoke of HAPPINESS, GOOD LUCK + GOOD HEALTH
Soft sounds of tiny wings came from overhead,
The little Olive-back Sunbird, dropped another
and another.
‘ Accept my offerings.
May Happiness + Good fortune surround you.
But remember my Queen,
happiness is merely a state of mind.’
As it flew into the pink horizon ,
She smiled to herself. Sipped her champagne.
Her pink flamingo gently ferried her to the end of another beautiful day.
A Queen Of Hearts,
always follows her own. ❤️
SUNBIRDS

They wear their colours boldy.
With an air of confidence.
Elegant and beautiful.
Strong and resilient.
Both will endure in life.
They continue to transform.
Both will fly high , wild and free.
Wanderlust.
The Monarch butterfly is known for its strength and stamina
to make their annual journey over vast distances between the hemispheres.
The Milkweed flower fuels their passage for survival.
Despite these butterflies being so fine and delicate,
they withstand all the unknown elements in their path.

FEARLESS FLIGHT

‘But what if I should fall . . . ? ’
‘But what if you should fly?’
she doubted.
her belief waned.
she imagined.
Imagined she had wings.
could she soar the open skies?
With Wild Thyme in her hand, she clutched BRAVERY + COURAGE .
The Aquilegia ‘Swan Violet + White ‘ , her resolve to SUCCEED.
Adorned with Pink Peonies, she is PROTECTED.
LE REINE
110 x 110 / oil on canvas
Kickass heels to confidently strut through life.
Champagne, because life is too short.
Strength and Courage
Nature to keep us grounded.
Kind Words or ourselves and others.
Rest and reservation of time.
Time to just sit and be still.
Throughout history, ornately decorated chairs symbolised power, authority and status.
In 17th century France, (Rococo period / Louis XV) the ‘Fauteuil a la Reine’ was a style of armchair designed for its adaptability. Less formal than other designs, it allowed the sitter to move within various spaces to find comfort and suitability. Yet it maintained an air of savior-faire, opulence and granduer.
Modern women are busier than ever, moving from one place to another. Wonder Women! However, reserving time , for our inner-Queen is just as important as accomplishing our long to-do lists.
