    something so ethereal and light about this, like looking through water at a wonderful scene of beings at play….whether fish, birds or elementals….
    it is beautiful and uplifting and made me breathe in deeply and sigh long!

    Like looking at our planet earth as a mulit-dimensional planet, the thin veil between our world and spirit! Perhaps as spirit sees us? Brilliant work Sophie…and as Wendy has written most uplifting! Wow!!!

    I love to see the whimsical and playful aspects of your creative imagination. This refreshing painting reminds me of the innocence and magic of childhood. This delightful piece has multi-dimensions of imagery with fantastic movement and energy; the vibrant color suggests the spectrum of light and freedom when the innocence of childhood is not interrupted and contaminated by the forces of the dark realm and disturbing projections of their guardians. This reminds me of the classic book, The Magic Years that describes the stages of discovery and the magical power children feel floating through the many colorful and enchanting images of this delightful playground. The child in you is very active delighted by the discovery of a new sandbox with so much to explore and the tools to open up new vistas for yourself and others who are eager to bring their pails and shovels to interact in your playful landscape.
