3. Inspiration
Barbara loves vibrant colors and the emotion that is
evoked by those colors
Her visit to Japan…
A three week visit to Japan brought her love of Asian
arts closer, but leaving brought grief and depression.
In the gloom and rain of her last day, a giant raven
swoops down to pick a persimmon from a tree. It’s black
aura, the vibrant orange against the rain and a gust of
wind against it feathers, takes her from depression to
new hope and her inspiration.
