"Trust"

Trust your instinct, trust who you are, trust who you can be, and trust yourself!

I believe dragonflies are the souls of people who have come to visit us.  They flitter from person to person to remind us to trust in our instinct, and to remind us that even though the decisions we make are, ours to make, and to trust in them.

Something New For Me

Good Morning. This weekend I had a blank piece of board on my easel and wanted to try something new. I love to draw faces and people and have been wanting to take a life drawing class. I never seem to have the time with everything else going on, kids, work, same as everyone else. When I thought, I have so many subjects in the house to draw. My daughter was only to eager to pose for me. This is what I ended up with last night. A collage of left over papers and magazine cutouts with a pose of my daughter in the middle. I am going to try and get my husband to pose next. Enjoy and stay tuned for more.

Just Breath

This painting was an experiment with new sparkly paints that I recently bought. I wish you could see the shimmer this painting brings. I first experimented with the yellow and green sparkle paint with regular watercolors on a pre-stretched watercolor paper. I sprayed water and just mucked around, then I stamped into the paint with the letters to spell Breath, and waited for the paint to dry. I then studied the painting and found an angel it the paint. I sketched her right into the abstract paint. Shes so soft and loveable. Enjoy!

From a sketch to a painting.....and then some

This is my newest painting "Moondance" that I did using new techniques I learned from suziblu workshop. Its not finished yet, but as soon as it is I will post the final product.
