here’s a painting i made this month for my mom. she asked for a gold painting + recognized i haven’t painted much, but the invitation was there nonetheless + i became curious about what might present itself.
i received encouraging feedback early in the painting process from friends on facebook + printed those comments + included their love in the layers (because they are there anyway).
a la heim/to life angel showed up! + i’m realizing, as i type, that “la heim” will be my word for 2014!
happy new year! sending love to all the places you find your invitation to explore, play, love, show up, be.
please return friday for a lovely “listening to you” post + a daily stream of posts for two weeks following of fun encouragement! XOX
and! i’m sharing this angel’s heart in my shop as a print http://rachelawes.etsy.com (i framed mine for an upcoming art show in january)
all with love
Whee…you did it!! And it’s beautiful. Not only did you discover that you can paint and create and “do” something you weren’t sure you could…you learned even more about yourself than you knew before you set out on the journey. Love it!!!
bless you for celebrating that alongside me!
isn’t that discovery an amazing thing about art-making?!!
xox
Rach – love the painting – and love the heart by itself! To Life!!
it means so much that you like this!
huge hugs!!!
