Original Watercolor & 24 Karat Gold Paintings by Natalie Ray
Don’t you want to feel like these birds?
Happily dancing around, sipping on yummy treats, and flying wherever they choose.
Their job is to find beauty and nourishment.
That’s a career I would sign up for.
When I look at this painting, I feel the weight in my chest feels a little lighter and the treasure of life feels freeing.
