My Handmade Journal Featured On Melanie's Blog and Flickr site

When I was a part of Connie Hozvicka's Big Fearless Painting online class, I met some amazing women.  One of those women is Melanie from the UK.  The Painting Tribe (all Fearless Painters who've been in class with Connie) did a secret santa gift exchange around the holidays this past December.  I was to gift Melanie with something.  It took a lot longer for her to receive than the USPS told me it would, but it did finally get to her.  Melanie just posted some photos of her gift on her blog Made By Melanie.  Take a peek. You can also see a few more images in Melanie's flickr photostream.  She even created an album called "Other People Inspire Me!", and the journal photos are in that album!  I am so touched.
(BTW-There is a new class of Big Fearless Painting starting in March, if you are interested.  Just click the above link for more info).

More Layers On Painting No. 1 and No. 2 for Bloom True

 Adding this layer of black and white made me feel like a modern day Basquiat!  Oh, what a feeling I've longed to have!  Can you relate?  If not, that's is most certainly okay.  

Some Paintings In Progress and Detail Photos

I am taking Bloom True with Flora Bowley.  I am learning so much, and we are only finishing up our second week.  If you click the above links, you are sure to be inspired.

Here's my work for the class so far.  I am working on two large canvases (roughly 3'x4').

This is a kitty paw print.  Someone else in the house also likes to paint, I guess.

An Empowering Message for Mothers to Be

This is something I need to tell myself right now, and I thought there might be some other women who could benefit from these positive phrases, too.
