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...
