The Filter Series is back

If you've read my blog since it's inception you'll be familiar with the 
Coffee Filter Series.
This time around it is the 
Filter Saints Series.
Since I had a four day weekend I took advantage of some non cooking free time to paint.


This is the beginning of the third piece in the Saint Series.
When completed it will be a mixed media, somewhat 3D ,
Filter Saint of 
Saint Francis.
If you are unfamiliar with this particular Saint 
he is the
 Patron Saint of Animals. 

I'm sure I will change him more than once before he's done,
but so far this is where he is at.
I'll post pictures as I go.

The Filter Girls from Coffee Basket

This is the story of

The Coffee Filter Girls

They come from a far away village known only as

The Coffee Basket.

It's a very small place,not much bigger

than the palm of your hand.

Most mornings the weather is hot

and very,very humid.

The evenings are cold and damp.
They live a humble, happy and quiet life in

the Coffee Basket.

They are like us in most ways

with one odd exception,

they do not have a mouth

they have learned to speak to each other

without the use of words.

How can that be you ask?
You see,in this small village they do not need a mouth to communicate.
They use the gifts they were born with.

Their GOD given talents
Speaking through their Love,through their Art,through Sisterhood and
through the quiet solitude

of morning meditation and reflection.

They are able to communicate

and speak their truths.

"there are many ways to speak without words"

they tell me

"you just need to learn how"

"Please, will you teach me?"

I ask,almost pleading with them.

"Listen to your heart

and you will find your way"

I am not sure as to how many Filter Girls live in the village
but I do hope you enjoy them as much as I do,
and maybe,just maybe they will inspire you to learn
how to speak without words.
"Just use the gifts you were born with."

Meet The Coffee Filter Girls

"Quiet Solitude"

She was the first of the

Coffee Filter Girls to voyage beyond

the small village of the Coffee basket.

She finds reflecting on her

nightly flights in dreamland

to be a peaceful start to her morning.

Every sip of the Coffee Baskets finest

Java sends her deeper into a quiet solitude.

"My Heart Needs No Words"

She speaks through Love and the

feelings she holds dear to her Heart.

She knows that the Love in her heart is far

more powerful than words.

The beautiful "Soul Sisters"

They know nothing of race

they only know the joy they feel in their hearts

when they are together as one

and the sadness

when one of them has gone away.

They are of one heart and one love.

Their motto is;

Love each other

as, you would want to be loved.

"Art is Sacred"

is the latest

of the Filter Girl's

to make her appearance.

She communicates through her Art

and is a firm believer that all

art is born in

your Soul

thereby making it Sacred.
