Already?? Oh my... where does the time go? And wow! 72 page views in the past 24 hours!! This is so amazing and incredible and I am SO excited! Picture me, pretty tired, bouncing in my seat all the same. :) You guys are so great... the support and interest is wonderful. I hope this is inspiring people out there to do something for a group or community or even just a single person. If we all do something it adds up SO much!!
Tonight I finished up my collage type painting. Over the past few months I've cut eyes out of magazines and saved them. I had a plan, sort of. So, last night I started laying down a layer of paint (greens mostly) and then spreading out the eyes on the paint and trying to smooth out the edges. Then, tonight, when the green was dry, I added words like dream, love, vision, hope etc. I think of eyes as the window to our soul. If you wear your heart on your sleeve like I do, then you can see so much in your eyes. Obviously, magazines aren't quite perfect, but I didn't have enough pictures to do "regular" people. Although, now that I think of it, maybe it's something to think about in the future. I love eyes. They are so interesting to really look at. All of the colour variation, the shape, so much detail... it's amazing. Anyway, I called the painting, which is an 8x10, "Windows". I'm thinking about doing a smaller version with more colour as I have a few ideas and many pairs of eyes left. We'll see!
For now, I'm going to tuck myself into bed. It's my turn to be "team lead" tomorrow so I have to be up and at 'em nice and early. Not really a problem in this house, but I want to be well rested all the same. So, good night to everyone around the world! Thanks for visiting and putting a gigantic smile on my face!!
