This is for my youngest son Austin and otterling. ()


Otter: Otter spirit signifies happiness and good fortune. Otter's gifts are laughter, loving memories, and nostalgia for family and friends of the past. Otter's lesson is to rekindle lost relationships in a playful, upbeat manner. The key is to have no regrets for the past is gone, and all we have is the present moment with which to play. Otter chooses to live near water. There, he is close to an endless source of love, flowing from the beginning of time.

Something I painted while taking a break from a more intense commission for my friend steppeland. I had fun painting the water, I found new methods. It's amazing what you can do with a few sleepless nights.

A wonderful poem written by my friend My Son, My Otterling     I see you there on the water's edge.  You walk in the edge of the waves.  I hear the sweet laughter that flows from your lips.  I see the light of love and freedom shine in your eyes.     Tenderness flows from your fingertips as you draw in the sand.  The smile that plays across your face as you find a sea shell.  Happiness bubbles from your soul at the discoveries you makes.  Love abounds from you at the sheer delight you find in the simpleness of life.     My Son, My Otterling, how you fill my broken heart.  With your love, laughter
