waiting to bloom

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on your word for 2012. I love reading about what inspires you and why you decided on your word. I also want to say thank you for all your warm wishes and encouraging words. They mean the world to me.


I'm slowly finding my way back to my paints and brushes (under a thick layer of lint and dust that gathered on my work table) thanks to your support and most especially to the awesomely talented, amazing and magical Marfi who never gave up on me and gave me just the right kick when I needed it. She rocks!!

I still painted while I was away from my blog but the art that came out was dark and sad. This weekend I felt so much more hopeful and when I created this piece my son actually said it was nice to see me paint something happier for a change!



This is a self portrait in a way.

Much more hopeful, ready to dream again and patiently waiting for my heART to bloom.


Stay inspired and have a beautiful rest of the week.

Oh and by the way I think I picked my two words for 2012....
FORWARD and FROSTING!

I love your latest painting. She looks so very wise and happy.I am excited to see your new words. Not sure if you notest, but my word for 2012 is forward also. I am glad to see you are moving forward, I have been away from my art for a few weeks, only producing photos. This morning I got out my uniball pens and started doing doodles and zentangles. They are very relaxing and I hope to post some soon.
It iss very cold here..last night it was 8 above zero..can't wait till spring. I will write you soon. Please star and look forward.
