"WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR...."

BLUE:
"LIKE A BOLT OUT OF THE BLUE...."
SILVER
From the stars we came.
Silver, in the night of Sept 23,1985. That's 36 years ago! How can that be? You came in a waking vision of light beams from the full moon flickering on my wall through the window. Breeze blowing gently through the trees created a "Butterfly, Angel, Dove" shape evolving figure. Waves of light inspired me, I grabbed a notepad and wrote and wrote about the ever changing light. Later, I painted you, one brush one color with white canvas as "white space" instead of paint.
Later a friend suggested "That's a Book!" And so, Silver Butterfly Create a Vision was born, gradually and over time you came to life in bits and pieces, of dreams, paints and words/worlds of adventures. Fun and questioning, forests and mountain tops, clouds and rain a blend of action and rest.
BLUE
Blue, you came to me in a bolt of blue, I "saw" a figure of a giant blue butterfly in a Tai Chi class as we imagined a "white black board" and "what might appear on it?" After class I grabbed a paintbrush and hastily carved out the mental image on canvas before it vanished. Again, one brush, one blue color, and leaving white canvas as white space. Then I wrote to a friend in the UK, she answered. "I have been seeing a blue butterfly in front of my eyes for several days now!" Where was the source, she wondered?
With help and encouragement, OUT OF THE BLUE went live on Today Sept 26, 2010 as a blog on Google's Blogspot. My whole world of butterfly wings expanded and grew to inspire creative thinking in a positive way for readers and writers, photographers, and musicians and dancers, teachers, and students and more to create their visions and expand vistas of sunrises and sunsets, of cosmos and clouds of light, visible and invisible.

I Had A Dream: I am walking down in an art gallery, all alone (I like that) and my paintings and prints through the years are lined up, displayed on both sides of the long hall. I greeted each painting and drawing, sketches, coded notes and scribbles with smiles and delights. At the end of the hall, there was a there was a very large white canvas resting on a wooden easel. On it, someone had scribbled in black paint with a big brush:
PAINT YOUR DREAMS, DAHLIS
and so it is~
WHITE SPACE:
