lianne
Ahhh a message just for me – at least, I’m stealing it for my own today! This is spectacular, meaningful, a powerful icon to focus on! We can “rise again” and rise above and move beyond if we seek both the inner light and the light that comes to us from others who seem to sense our need. Just a remarkably insightful work of art my dearest Butch!

hi Butchart :)
i´m just in here for some minutes but i have to comment this. I think its a wonderful expression and a wonderful work. And you would be surprised to see the likeness between your Phoenix and some images I did the other day. Really remarkable :)
have a wonderful day (or evening) my dear friend
butchart replied
hi roy.. good to hear from you…. and actually i’m not suprised my friend… i think we are very much attuned so sometimes our art will be very similar…. although i did this a long time ago… i believe in a synchronicity of souls….... i hope you are well and smiling…..... love and light…......b
roy skogvold
i wish the same to you my wonderful friend :)
love and light b
