Change Is Beginning

That is, something new and different starts when we start (something new and different). I also realized today, that change occurs when we all the real reasons for doing something outweigh all the real reasons for NOT doing something. Begin to Change = Change is Beginning.

4' X 4' with drawing......

Detail of 4' X 4' once I put the first color washings on. Very excited about this piece. Biggest I have ever attempted. It's fun! and my vision for the finished product are based on values that have been helping me through: the 4 corners of Strength - Love, Belief, Support and Friendship. I will keep posting till its done.

Much smaller, but just as fun. I really enjoy working in the collage style with cool scrap-booking papers. This one will combine many, and also use cut-outs from cards, magazines and printed photos. Throughout will be inspirational words, and there will  be hand painted elements too.

Keeping busy. Trying to create good, positive change; trying to work it all out, and express what's in my heart. Beginning.

The 'day after' snow photos

OK, so these are about a week and a half late, but I wanted to share anyway. Here are two decent photos from the recent snow dumpings on my town.Everything looks so pretty and pristine when it's sunny and white....until the stuff starts melting - then it just gets heavier and heavier to shovel! But I prefer to remember it like this, then to view it all melty and mushy and re-frozen, and gray...the way it is now.
