I just love being able to do what I do and I NEVER take it for granted!! (and that's not just art either!!)
These are beautiful Rachel and a wonderful idea.
I love the second! Thanks for sharing so much love.
These are so beautiful, Rachel!!
Love them! Especially the first one. My kids and I play that game.
The first thought that came to mind (which I'm not sure why - it doesn't happen all that often - maybe that's why it's so special) is when I'm in bed and all my kids start filing in one by one until all four of them are hanging out in bed with me talking, goofing, wrestling, sharing. Story telling with four kiddos snuggled in the bed feels like a cozy nest full of love.
Oh, I love these so much!
it is very special for me when I visit here..you always touch my heart and the blue cloud was just what I saw yesterday as i beamed at the sky
Oh, that last one. I think that would be a good print to have in my home. That's what I want my home to feel like, for me and others. I'm tearing up as i read it again and again.
how beautiful is this?
i love the freedom of possibility.
I love all your beautiful, colorful work. Shame on those publishers for not accepting it! I also love that, even though I'm divorced (not something I chose), I don't have anyone spending my time
...i was going along minding my own business...when...oh the PARTS and the ARTS...i heard them calling and came...i UNDERSTOOD after digging deep, then stretched and opened my arms as wide as i could and hugged that full of life rachel and kissed her nose!!!! xoxo
So utterly beautiful just like you, Rachel. You always make me smile!
i love them all but the last one steals my heart! :)
I love them all
....like the slivers of sparkling
embers leaping from a cozy fire
burning warm and well.
Oh the things that whoosh
out from the light burning
bright inside of you!
It's a wonder and a beauty
to be near.
Makes me want to draw in closer
and toast my heart mellow and soft
over the friendly flames.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh........

ahhh, deep sigh of fresh superior lake air, and soul dancing, and kissing, and snuggling with mismatched socks. places where i can just BE. this is heaven. all of these colorful illustrated loves are HEAVENLY!
YOU are heavenly, divine, winged and an illuminated being.

so beautiful...
you and your work are cherished!
as far as what I LOVE...
I'll have to send an email, because I will need to give that a little more thought than I have time for at the moment.
blessings to you...
I love that I can still maintain a positive attitude through cancer treatment, through a spinal abscess and be rewarded by falling in love with a man I first met when I was 14 (I am 53 now).
Your artwork is so inspiring! My favorite is the third one!
Be still my heart! Ohhh. "The last number." I think if Renee Zellweger had said that in Jerry McGuire, that is what we would all be saying.
These are all incredibly touching and beautiful!
These are really special Rachel, made with love from a very kind heart.
I love paint on my hands and the pure joy that comes from making art. :)
♥Jenny
I don't believe in heaven and I don't like Dr. Pepper - with all the rest I go along gladly, happily, lovingly!
And the last number would be my life!
ohhhh~
i know WHO that top one is for sure!!!!
this was a fun riddle for me to try to figure out which ingredient was plucked from the stew.
hand over heart deer one.

you are so very cool-what an amazing way to share your gift sweet woman...
you're the TOPS, rachel!!! are you making a big long poster or painting or both out of these?!!! xoxo
P.S. i lovvvvvve the simplicity of such profoundness in that very first one, "joyful woman"!
****swoooooooooooon**** over the moon and back again....

oxoxoxoxo

I always love your art and words. Thank you so much for sharing!
Okay--I have a "nomination" for what words you should put into Art. The words are your own--You left them on Chrissy's 5 Kernels of Corn post:
"simplicity
silence
open space
less
instructs us
into
seeing much." Rachel Awes
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Rachel. You're AWESome! ; )
