My Fist Life Book Assignment

In Tam's Life Book class (you can click on the link in my right sidebar if you want more info on the class - you can join at any time), our first assignment was one in which we celebrate our goddess qualities, which I took to mean my inner qualities that I consider positive.

My piece turned out a little grittier than many of the others, because I wanted to work in the style I used to paint in when I first started painting. It makes me so happy to work intuitively in layers like that. That's the style I want to also work in with my etching class. We'll see if that'll work, but I'm excited about it!!

It feels sooo good to be painting again. I've really missed it!

Tomorrow, I'll have a yummy recipe for you - I've been cooking up a storm lately and have much I want to share with you. Little by little...

Today, I am grateful for:

* hands covered in paint
* a super messy drawing table :)
* veggies roasting in the oven
* soup on the stove top
* knitting waiting for me...

Painting again...

It has been over a month since I last touched my paints and I had this irrational nervousness about picking them up again. So, today was the day!

After about two minutes it was like I just painted yesterday.

I am working on the first assignment for the Life Book class. The challenge for me is to follow the assignment, but do it in my own style and I'm having fun with it! I still have a ways to go, but I love her soft face so far...

I also thought that today would be a good day to start my gratitude list again, so here it is:

Today, I am grateful for:

*being able to go to my studio and paint

*a fridge full of yummy leftovers(!!)

*clear, sunny and cold weather

*getting back into blogging regularly

*starting my year off with being surrounded by loving people, including you all!!

P.S. Those three little piggies from my last post? All gone! I ate them all for extra luck!! :)
