Cristina M. R. Norcross is a talented writer and beautiful bright spirit whom I have had the great fortune to collaborate with on several occasions, combining my artwork and her lyrical poetry into what we call, The Poetic Captured Reflections series.
As artists we all feel a deep desire to express ourselves and hope to make a difference in the world in some way. In this spirit we have decided to have a giveaway for the next 7 weeks.
Each Monday, I will be offering a different canvas print from our Poetic Captured Reflections collection. Each giclee is gallery wrapped and ready to hang. They are also signed by each of us and come with a certificate of authenticty. It is our way of celebrating the gift of life, creativity, our families and friends and these beautiful holidays.
All you have to do is comment on the blog, and we will randomly pick a winner on Sunday of each week for that particular piece and send it out to you. We hope you will enjoy them. They were created with much love and inspiration. The first one is "Finding Her Treasure." I have included the poem below that is inscribed on this piece.
Finding Her Treasure
(Inspired by the painting by Holly Kallie)
A pilgrim’s journey
of overlapping, ever increasing circles of light –
you step into the caress of summer’s awakening,
with foam surf and crystallized grains of sand.
One furtive step follows another,
until only tracings remain –
fading footprints on the beach.
You carry a collection, a treasure trove –
overflowing like the hungry tide
that washes the land clean in crescent brushstrokes.
Hidden within your heart –
the fear that nothing can contain your precious gems.
Set them free today.
Like flowers with wings,
these gifts are Love’s Light to be shared.
They take flight towards the grand horizon,
just beyond our sight.
You are the treasure,
Dear One.
You are the Light.
Cristina M. R. Norcross

ReplyDeleteOK, I know I can't win a copy of my own print, but I just wanted to leave a message of appreciation, because it has been a true joy to create these art/poetry collaborations with you, Holly! Every day, I walk past this print of "Finding Her Treasure" in my guest room, and it fills me with peace. I love your vision.
