Approaching the back of my friend's car in New Jersey, I noticed a leaf on the ground. I loaded the groceries into the trunk and looked again at the leaf. There was a heart in the middle... I told my friend that God sent us a love note. There was also another missing piece of the leaf... in the shape of an ear.. but it was upside down... so... I think that means He hears us or is listening when we pray. It made my heart smile.. So I made 2 attempts to paint it on this fragile page from an 1884 "Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge. The 1st attempt is called "A Love Note From God," Hope this makes your heart smile, too. I now realize it was not dropped for "ME", it was dropped for an "artist" to find, and see the message and spread it... A much needed message for all.
The leaf is a "Red Maple" tree.

"ART, something I always wanted as part of my life, HAS become a passion that fills my soul, and leaves me full of joy, one brushstroke at a time."

Maria, this red maple heArt with your backstory tugs at my heArt. I donβt believe in coincidences... This truly was left for one who had the keen eye to SEE, the humility to LOOK DOWN and the discipline to SURRENDER to the Flow of Inspiration! The layers of interest continue when one looks closely at the antique scripted content over which your watercoloir flowed. Marvellous! LF
