spt tuesday..woohoo

recently someone told me about a little exercise
of looking at yourself in the mirror each day. you
know who you are and don't even deny it...you

started this!

of course, this makes me sooooo uncomfortable,

and so does having my picture taken. but there

is something about spt and a digital camera. it

is addictive! i take a picture and i look and then

i giggle or then i want to cry because my fluffy

cheeks are extra fluffy this tuesday. so out of
sheer madness - well hell, lets take another one

and then i look and then my eyelids are half

closed - so of course i laugh and i have to make

the next one better and so it goes.....

c'mon - don't give me that crap - you know

you do it too...and if you don't, i highly

recommend that you do.

now go laugh and enjoy your tuesday...

peace out.

finally i am done! whew, this quickly became a hard one to finish.

but i am so glad i can now say it is done. they are picking it up

this afternoon. i couldn't pin point why i was struggling to finish

it. then i realized that i needed more space. so i put it on the

floor and it all came out. i had a sketch that i loved, but every

time i sat down to paint, i froze. then depression set in. you

know how it is you see the picture, but you cant get it wear

your vision is, on your canvas. ah finally, it came.

this is a gift for a son and husband. his favorite scripture

is ephesians 6:13-17...

"Therefore, take up the full armor of God,
so that you will be able to resist in the
evil day, and having done everything,
to stand firm."

like my home series, i used the color block on the side and

had all intensions to use the eph. 6:13-17, but i wanted something

a bit softer. so i added wings. i am always so inspired by

christine mason millers wings. hers are so comforting

and spiritual. i have some girls who earned their wings.

so these seemed to meld into the piece.

anywhoo. he is done and ready to go to his new home.

happy weekend!

peace.
