Message from Trudy to the Global Art Project

“Hi, Katherine,

“I hope you're dancing with joy this exchange week with thoughts of all the artistry, beauty, and peace added to our world because of you.

“I’ve already received my partner’s art. Here are some photos and a description of my own creation.

All the best,
Trudy

Flower Songs and Petal Dances

“Acrylic paint, pencil crayon, used tea bags, gel pen. Using both art and words in this piece, I aimed to capture the beauty, peace and play among flowers and nature.”

apple blossom breaths
butterfly hushes
colour choruses
dandelion giggles
dewdrop waltzes
mossy quiescence
nature frolics
pastel serenades
velvet embraces
