Ripple Effect


"I alone cannot change the world, 
but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."

― Mother Teresa

Creating Change  36x36  Oil on Canvas


The challenge of this painting huge 
but it was surpassed by the inspiration I felt during the process.  
Actually, before, during and after.   

I was out for a morning walk and the droplets started to come.  
(I am grateful I had my handy dandy iPhone.)  I love the ripple effect... in life.  Do what you can, large or small, and you can make a change.  
Just as these tiny droplets changed the landscape of this reflection. 
 And as it went on and on and on...
the power of the droplet was magnified.


I let go of any preconceived notions I had 
about the end result of the painting and just let it happen.  
It truly is one of my favorites paintings that I have done.  
I hope you enjoy it too!

Of course, I usually leave you with a quote.  
Today, I am closing with the most appropriate one!
I've had this taped to the top of my easel for over a decade! My Fav!

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

― Mahatma Gandhi



Kind regards,
Susan
