For some reason the images look really saturated. Imagine that they don’t…

A couple weekends ago, I took a bunch of my art to the “new” gallery downtown because there was interest in one of my paintings, “Healing”. The owner wanted to see anything I had though, so I made Jason my carry boy and we dragged in my stuff! She ended up accepting these 4 pieces and helped me price them and they will be up in the gallery soon! It was a real encouragement and since I became a member of the gallery, a real motivation to do more paintings. Jason is forcing me to do at least one a month:-) I think it will be good for me.
ALSO…I entered this painting
into the Arts Festival that 5Stones is putting on in the AU Chapel this coming weekend and ended up winning “Most Thematic” and $50! Also very encouraging for me to keep up my painting. Especially seeing that this is a new painting I did for the Red Red office and I hadn’t completed a painting since 2006 which most of the 4 above are from (2005 & 2006). I feel like it’s the kind of outlet I need and I see how God is opening doors and providing the motivation I need to continue it even after the baby comes- ESPECIALLY after the baby comes. I’m not going to let that stop me- I’ll let it inspire me and when the kid gets a little older, they can paint with me! That will be fun:-)
