Creating today!

Mesmerizing me.....sometimes the paintings just create themselves and I am just a conduit..love it when the FLOW happens ...

Wisdom---this indeed may be my word for 2013. interesting how this little guy just popped on my page,I am playing with my ink sprays and dabbing water hither and yon! FUN!

Blue Moon attitude

The bird pops out of the little holder and is attached to a piece of paper with the explanation of a blue moon. Basically the blue moon is the second moon of a month,it is said that whatever is started at the new moon is completed by the blue moon of the month. A time to finish a project or end something you have started. Good or bad...I am going to use it as a place to end some of the wrong thinking I have going on in my head. To remember what in life is important and not worry about what OTHERS think nor take what they say as fact. To end the dark negative thoughts and have a blue moon attitude!

Get your creativity on!
