THANKFUL HEART....... NEW ART

This is what I made this week to remind me of my THANKFUL HEART this month. It was so nice to slow down and look for the small things that fill my heart with love and gratitude. I am a lucky girl in so many ways, don't want to forget this.

I had a fun and hard time making this piece. The first 2 attempts didn't come out right with the colors. Finally it came together just the way I wanted it too and makes me soooo happy to see it now. This month was full of working on things outside my comfort zone and trusting myself and having the POWER TO BE WHO I NEED TO BE!! This last week of creating art for loved ones has touched me and a quiet calm peace has set in me now. I love having an idea and putting it in paint and seeing the magic happen. I'm very excited about some projects and gifts that have kept me busy. Will be sharing more of these soon.

So this will be my last thankful post this month and I couldn't wait to share this art piece with you. It really does make me happy and somehow wish you all could have one of these too. Please know that you have all helped me so much these last few months. It means the world to me to have your love and support. So from the bottom of my heart thank you thank you!!
