It is present at all times, you just have to be open to possibilities. A key ingredient of art, life & love, serendipity can lead you to the most interesting people & places.
I found this wonderful quote on wiki from John Barth's The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor, "--- you don't reach Serendib by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings… serendipitously." Sounds like a fun read.
One of my favorite words, Serendipity is also this week's Mix It Up With Melange challenge prompt. You can add your own piece or see what others have created by following the link & checking the comment section.
Often at the unlikeliest moments, when it seems all is lost.

Will Oaks Studio (where real the magic happens)I don't know know about you, but I always get a kick out of seeing people's work spaces. Feels like taking a little peek into their brains. Wow, if that were true then my brain looks like a hurricane just passed through!

Love reading your blog! And thanks for the vocab lesson - I didn't know what serendipity was! And it sounds absolutely beautiful! I like to think I am open to new adventures and opportunities. I love to wander into a blog and find something fabulous like I did with yours today! Thanks! Beth
ReplyDeleteI love how you did the water on the Ship of fools!
ReplyDeleteHow did you get the images on the skeleton leaves on the Kiss? it looks really cool!
I love "The Kiss" and "Ship of Fools"
ReplyDeleteWhat a talented artist! I love those earrings with the orange. Her studio looks like magic could occur there!
ReplyDeleteYour serendipity art is absolutely amazing! You also have the best explanation for "serendipity" that I've read....I may have to rethink my own art I was working on. :-)
