The Journey...New Art Work, I call it Shabby Chic Graffiti

Feels sooo good to
be back in the Studio...
CREATING!
Summer was
very busy
and a whole lot of fun!!!
I am still on the Ultimate Journey
(Bible Study)
and it has been very interesting.
We've gone back and visited our
hearts at different ages.
Did you know God Loves
you Just the way you are!
NO...REALLY!!!
I am learning to accept me, right where
I am at.
Right Now at this very moment.
Why?
 Because once I learn to accept me for
who I am and what I am, I can
be in agreement with my creator,
God,  the one who knew me before
I was placed in my mothers arms.
God accepts us and loves us just the way we are.
LIKE ... Right now! At this very moment!
Wow....
He loves me in spite of my sin.
He loves me in spite of my short comings.
He loves me when I don't even love myself.
HIS LOVE IS ETERNAL.
NEVER ENDING.
ALWAYS RENEWING.
As we begin to take the time to
come to know God and who he truly is.
Only then do you come to know yourself and who you
truly are.
You are a child of a God who makes no mistakes.
You are loved beyond measure.
You are lovable.
You are acceptable.
You are who God made you to BE.

Another Stroke of the Brush...
New Art...
I  am calling these Shabby Chic Graffiti?





What do you think?
 I had fun making them....
I love the muted colors and Blues and Greens.
I use Picasa to write the verse on them
so I can write anyone's favorite bible verse.

Well, time to go back in the Studio.....
Have a Blessed Day.

A great reason to road trip to AZ.
Isn't she adorable!!!!



Another day trip to Bisbee, Az. a former
copper mining town. Now... a quaint little artist nook.
Lots and Lots of Galleries and Artist....Yip pie for me!
I could see myself retired there and painting far into
my 90's.....Sunshine and inspiration.



On to the Iowa State Fair....
This is the mural door I paint for

This Gallery/Studio is located in
Gilbert, Iowa and I will be Teaching
there and showing my art work.

Another Stroke of the Brush...
 I took a Watercolor Workshop
with Margert M. Martin,
She is in her 80's and she is still
traveling & teaching watercolor.
One word...
Awesome!
She attributes her success to doing what
you are passionate about!!!

Loving what you do reduces stress and
adds years to your life span!

Next Act....

busy getting ready for this weekend, we
will be camping there. 
So gotta go....get ready and pack...

Studio time?
What is That....?
When it is sunny out and my kids are
not in school I find it hard to
get to the studio...
But, I have got to get busy
I have been invited by another
artist to share space at the
State Fair in Iowa
I am bartering my time working
in the booth for the
opportunity to sell my art at
the Fair.
So....
 It is time to get organized
 and pump out some
 new art,
pendants,
note cards
bookmarks and more.
Summer seems to be flying by!!!





Another Stroke of the Brush...
Still on the Ultimate Journey

Are there weeds in the garden of
Your Heart & Soul?
 Have you forgotten to tend
the garden of your
Heart & Soul?
How can you reap a
bountiful harvest if
your weeds are taking over the garden?
Your Weeds, so to speak are your past
hurts and pains.
The next step in the Ultimate Journey
Start pulling those weeds.
Glory  and Praise to a God
who will pull those weeds and
create in you a new garden.
A New Heart!
God's Words are the fertilizer
your garden needs to
Grow
Flourish
and
Harvest.

Ephesians 5:1-2
"You are God's children whom he loves,so try to be like him.
Live a life of love just as Christ loved us and
gave himself for us as a sweet smelling
offering and sacrifice to God."
