This is also one of my new sayings for sale in my gallery. It is 8x10 and matted. I love how we can break the cycles of abuse, neglect and anger. This rings so true with me because I lived with physical and mental abuse and anger for sixteen years in my first marriage. I had to leave to protect my children and myself. Loving and being kind is SO much better.

Love this saying, so true. Kindness is it. Working and painting in the studio today. Started a new painting and hated it so painted a layer of gesso over the whole thing and starting over.

I created canvas this some time ago for a client who lost her husband. I like the contrast of the soft watercolor and the metal wings. Today in the studio I am creating hand made birthday cards because I was getting low on this product. Assembly is not always one of my favorite things to do, but time to catch up on some of these things.

This is an acrylic canvas that I created for my March show but my walls were empty at my Gallery so I brought this down yesterday to sell. I created this with acrylic and salt.

This is the February page from my 2016 calendar. If you blow it up, you can see a small heart on the tree trunk. And the colors of the tree too. <br />
<br />
In the studio today, I am finishing the acrylic price tags for my March month long show. And creating two pictures for framing : "To love someone is to see the face of God." My favorite quote from Les Mes. <br />

Love is a Bridge. This is one of my small 6x6 acrylic canvasses. <br />
<br />
Today in my studio I am creating a new journal and working on some 10x10 paintings for my March show. One good thing about acrylic paintings is that you can gesso over things that you don't like. I put the final touches on a painting yesterday and hated it. So I am trying to save 3/4 of it and gessoed over the part that I did not like.

It is a series of blessings but a lot of the words in between the chapters of blessings are wonderful too. This one is my favorite and I created this yesterday for my Spiritual Writing Group. I hope you enjoy it and appreciate all the people who pray for you on a daily basis. Love from me! <br />

I saw a sympathy card recently that I liked and I recreated the words in calligraphy. The one I saw said that "your heart would heal" but I am not sure it ever completely does. I designed the background in photoshop using some brushes in different colors, then added the paper flower and three jewels.
