Mystify leaves me speechless and bamboozled. She is so talented, it took me longer to capture her spirit in a painting than just about anyone else I have ever painted. She is also kind to animals and flowers. Lots of people are kind to animals, but her love of flowers, goes well beyond the call of duty. One of my imprisoned flowers - a red rose - has started a protest movement over its treatment, and Mystify has decided to include a picture of it on her Landscape design website, to assist with its campaign. I often get written to by dogs requesting I help them with their campaigns, but my rose writing to Mystify really did surprise me, even though it has been protesting recently about its treatment. Mystify has so many talents, it is hard to encapsulate them in a paragraph. I like it that she is an author as well as an artist. I also like to work with both text and pictures to express myself. I also like it that she works with her hands in soil - this means she gets back to primeval states, which again I like to do, with worms, seedlings, and compost, which I love to create (in a sense, testimonials are the precursors to compost in a context where we all die one day :-).
My digitals of Mystify are included below.
