Today is… an Ahhhhh-mazing day!

Remember that day I told you about my inspiration for starting this Art Every Day journey?  Well, today Noah, featured Art Every Day on his newest book’s blog: 365 Make Something Every Day.

Woooo-Hooooo!

And I know I have made ‘love’ stuff, and it gets sappy, but today I just couldn’t help it!  I’m sending my appreciation and thanks in the form of love. 

 Love of encouraging each other.

Love of celebrating successes. 

Love of community building. 

Love of helping each other. 

Love of making things.

Love of inspiration.

Love of creating.

Love of doing.

 

And to you----If you have been here before, thanks for your support!  If you are new here today, thanks for coming by!  I hope to see you again soon!

Just a peek!

I've been working on this today and the past few days.

--AND--

My friend Kate lives in San Francisco.

I miss her dearly. 

She sent me a picture of a self portrait she did.

Here it is.

She is brave, beautiful, and talented in so many ways.

Thanks Kate!

 I just bought these watercolors for a class I am taking.

I've never really been a fan, and I have to say it will be a long time til I completely understand how they really work.  I mean every stroke shows, I haven't figured out how to layer them yet, and they always mush.  So...I am trying to work with the mush, I tried to  use clear gesso to add to the layering, but well, that just...mushes!

There are various quotes from Ayn Rand, Maya Angelo, C. S. Lewis and D. H. Lawrence on this page.
