Time off. I was just perusing the internet, listening to some songs that I'm interested in. Feeling excited about a new one coming out from 'in Exile' at dspacer.com , I scribbled out this little sketch while listening to it. Just doodling.

The name of the song that captivated me was "Captivated by My Love". It speaks to me of the man who wrote it. It speaks to me about real Music and Art. It speaks to me about Love.

Update. I just went to his Music List at http://dspacer.com/html/downloads.html . Found some interesting stuff there

I can't believe that I had described my picture as dreamy. (See my post from a few days ago.) Because it then turned out Just the way the lady responded. She kept repeating "Is this really happening?" And "It feels like a dream." And "Am I dreaming?" She was so excited. I felt their Joy. The Marriage Proposal was Wow.

Here's what happened:

The woman seemed to have a mind of her own. She didn't want to go where we had arranged, and she started making herself comfortable elsewhere in the Park. Lol ~ Client texted me. So the scene was just moved. We brought the experience to her. She responded. Wow ~ Such Joy! What a good place to be. What a good experience:

I wish I had the time to photograph her very first reaction, but I was busy as the Artist. I was making the experience happen.

When I was 'out of the scene', I did manage to get these photos. Not a professional Photographer, so it's not my photography that makes these photos so fantastic ~ It's just Them. My clients. So much care and love and togetherness and happiness. Ahhh ~ Romance. It's such a blessing that I can enable this sort of event:

And because she kept saying that she was dreaming, I played around with the next photo for them:

Did remember to get her writing on the picture this time. She was so cute. Needed help:

When I'm involved with my clients like this, I really feel Love for them. So I felt inspired to make them a gift while they went off for their picnic. I tried to see the Park scene beautifully for them and I created a little picture of the area. Of course, I blocked out thengagementeir names before I posted it here:

And a few days after the event, still flying from it, I felt so happy to receive the following email from my client:

Alison, I cannot begin to thank you enough for making our engagement so memorable. Your willingness to please, artistic talents, and superb service far exceed expectations. Thank You again and (name) still is in shock :) Go you! Thank You again, -(Name)

Being part of the good things in life. Making them happen for us. So much more fun than getting bogged down with the problems.

As my own husband says, "If we were down to our last few dollars, I'd buy you flowers with them." (Yes, he's also bought me flowers while we've been earning our living)

Asked to get some Sample Party Caricatures together. I remembered how my Agent had prepared them with the little reference picture in the corner. So I chose a few of my favorites from this blog, and I put them together the same way. I feel happy with them.

Here are the pictures from when I was getting ready for a recent Proposal event. At first, the man was thinking of hiring me to surprise his lady during a big Balloon Festival (the type of balloons that are like airplanes). Because they like that. But he chose a quieter Rose Garden for this activity instead ~ he wanted something exciting, but more intimate. Happily Romantic.

It feels like a dream
