a true friend

a true friend, originally uploaded by ruthrae.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them into the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend that is always there.

This is the front page that I did for Jen's club creative rr journal. I did alot of painting on the image... you cant see them but there is alot of layers of paper. I am doing 2 round robin journals for this year and I hope to improve on my use of acrylics :)

so you love words, you dont harm them, you play with them. you confide your secrets to them you teach them to paint you teach them to sing! it seems to me that all the poets have been in love with you... .................. this is my favorite page that I did in sharons journal it looks alot better in person I painted it with acrylics and used caryon d'arc then I wrote around the heart.
