The Sun has risen
To warm up the earth
My dreams are with you
You are my Sun
Good morning
Sun!
Love and Light~OLGA

This is one of my earliest acrylic art work, dedicated to the Dutch National Pride, THE TULIP.
Since there's an Anarthic cold striking
the North Eastern part of the USA
(Pennsylvania, where I live) with temperatures far
below zero (Celcius and Fahrenheit!) I
titled my painting:
"DUTCH SNOW
JOB."
For the 2nd image I fiddled around in Printshop de Lux. It gives an even a more frozen/ icy look!
I framed it in a wooden frame, which I
painted in the same colors as the background of this painting.
Kinda
spiffy!

*How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.*Victor HugoWilliam Boyer 18 Feb 2007

Hi Olga, I see you are keeping up the good work,beautiful design and colour. I wrote to AW and got a standard reply. It's like talking to a robot and this particular robot is not interested in the human form no matter how tastefully portrayed. I think it might be a muslim robot. But keep at it, we all love you.wim denijs 16 Feb 2007
