More Than A Memory

 in my BIG class i had this memory - a broken robin's egg in my front yard, a blown down nest and a Christmas with my new doll. of course i'm nesting.

the little 5 year old in me could not wait for good light to take this add-on of one more memory - painting Easter eggs and the baby chick my mom gave me. once upon a time they use to dye the little chicks at Easter for children.  anyway this egg is much brighter blue.

Breaker Wave

i just started painting with blue and kept building until i created this breaker wave and then the next day i was reminded my son surfs and he attends The Wave Church.  but that didn't occur to me while i was painting. it still needs work but i was so amazed i created this during my time at the retreat.

Diamonds on the Lake

i had the most amazing artist retreat this weekend in Georgia at Diamonds on the Lake. 

i entered my bedroom named The Tree Of Life and found this beautiful artist card awaiting my arrival. its titled "Wings To Fly"  the little card reads "only through instinctive determination and perseverance will a butterfly emerge from its cocoon with wings strong enough to fly in breathtaking beauty. God has promised that as we persevere in our trials and struggles we, too, will emerge in brilliant beauty, clothed in His joy and peace."

thank you so much janice!

our group enjoyed our bonding time so much we named ourselves Love Dove.  

Really i do

this pic is a continuation it seems of my feelings from time-2-time. the word in middle attitudal "really" and now its "really i love you, i really do".  lovin' BIG 7 Tribe with Connie.

today is my hubby's birthday and i am scheduled to fly out in another hour to Georgia for a class. i hated leaving him on his b-day, but he's working all day until about 10:30 tonight.  My family gave me a great art class in GA for my birthday all orchestrated by my DIL2B.  i love her, she's so thoughtful.

BIG 7

this is the culmination of all my skeleton paintings from Total Alignment for BIG 7 Tribe.  how funny that there are 7 flowers on this painting and that was not planned. i wish my teeth were that white, lol.

Total Alignment Day 5 Grounding

 my camera is acting up - some reason didn't take the whole body pic and upload, maybe is suppose to be two parts, lol.  every Day of Dead i usually see revolves around some flowers, every funeral usually has many flowers. so i added flowers. Connie spoke of roots going deep into the ground and of course the seeds produce vines/flowers. my skeletal remains is intertwined in growing vines.

and

here is the bottom half of Skeletal Remains-Grounding. i may add more flowers until the entire painting is full of overgrown flowers.

i finally was able to get the entire pic uploaded.
