" Hope is a waking dream " by Aristole. So true ! ...........I wasn't going to post this for a few more days as it's so close in style to my previous image, " Interlude ", but then I found out a very very dear friend had a very bad day today & I hoped that this pretty butterfly of hope might lend her some cheer. And some loving warmth when she needs it.........From me to you sweetie ..... hugs ! ;o)

Hope is the thing with feathers,
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune
Without the words,
And never stops at all.

Emily Dickinson

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

Beautiful image Lauren, and so are the words and the sentiment behind it.

Thanks for sharing this, and such a kind gesture for your friend. The impact should be immediate in lifting their spirits.

It was for me ... I looked and then mentally leaped onto the back of this gorgeous creature and now ... feel like I am soaring. :o)

Hi Lauren, this image is intensely beautiful, I say intensely because it touches the senses with quite an impact, and coupled with your sentiments evokes emotion! The colors are not intense, they are soft and lovely, but you have drawn in the color spectrum to be all inclusive! The mulitude of brilliant colors have made this very special! I hope, this image, which is your symbolism of hope brings encouragement to your friend and she begins to feel the hope you send to her! Good job Lauren, Sincerely, Marilyn

Lovely. Just fantastic, glowing colours. This has a real sense of energy, inspiration, beginning, flight... I do hope it cheered your friend up. It seems to have cheered up lots of other people, judging by the comments.

It's so brilliant. Marvellous work.
