Love Sweet Love
{Hi! It's been awhile. Glad you found me.}
I am in making mode. I have no clue what trips my swtich to ON, but it.is.on. I am happy about that. It's been quite some time since I've settled down at my desk to paint/make. {I do work on my hand stitching in the evening.}
I think I am finding my go to style.
Cheery. Thoughtful. Bright and colorful. Happy. Yep. That's it. And I am so good with that.
I was talking to one of our sons on Saturday about differences. As I started explaining how we are all different because that is how God mades us, I said you are not Da Vinci, or van Gogh, or Monet and that is just fine. His issue had nothing to do with art, but the word picture fit.
A light bulb went off. I am NOT Da Vinci, Monet, or van Gogh. I am me. My work does not need to compete with the Masters in order to be useful or "good". It's good to me. It satisfies me. I'm so good with that.

Get Your Paint On paintings
Last year, I enrolled in an online course taught by Lisa Congdon, and Mati Rose. It was money well spent.
There were several participants who suggested I make prints of these paintings, and at the time I wasn't super confident. Today, I'm throwing caution to the wind and listing them as prints in my shop. So there, insecurity!
{my personal favorite}
{laborious work}
The flowers are inspired by Lulie Wallace. I have one of her 'tots' and I surely love it. I hope to get better and better as painting loosely.

Grace Every Day With Thanks
I came home from school on Friday ready to p.a.i.n.t. I am sure having a pseudo-holiday for me (real one for the boys) made my need to make skyrocket. And the weather. Sun, chill, breeze, blue sky, spring flowers for sale. I broke out my goods and dove in.
'Grace' was completed this afternoon. Whew. Now I can do some chores...chores are always the first to go during a painting spree. (Pros and cons to that.) We all have clean und*rwear. That's what matters most.
It's listed in my happydreamer shop. Come take a peek.
