Fly Home, acrylic by Flora S. Bowley

Have you ever had the amazing experience, while looking at art, of seeing yourself—or at least who you’d like to be—in the piece before you?

Bold, colorful, rich and complex, simultaneously soft and strong, decisive, confident, playful and meaningful: Flora S. Bowley’s art encapsulates so many of the qualities I want to see in myself.  It’s alive and in motion and absolutely awesome.

Based in Washington state, Flora’s art has been shown across the U.S.  I first had the pleasure of seeing her paintings in August 2009 and I immediately fell in love.

Do yourself (your soul) a favor, visit her site and bask in the beauty.
