Aside from the spot-on colors in this piece, I was drawn most to the word bead by Diane Hawkey. I always have about a dozen of them in my stash just waiting for the right time. After the events that have been happening in my life and in the world, and most specifically in Orlando (I just returned from there yesterday), this sentiment really grabbed at my soul. And I think that it is a word that perfectly embodies the spirit of this lovely art image as well. There is a serenity and harmony in the face of that woman swathed in turquoise robes, surrounded by sweet smelling roses, something I think that everyone could use a dose of right about now.
