Breathe in


I opened a favorite word book to find words for this painting. I love that process.... sometimes it takes me a long time to find words that feel right, but not this time. On the first page these words "Breathe in
 every joy of the world" from three different places on the page - just jumped right at me.
I love Fridays! Wishing you a happy weekend!

  3. Besides the fact that she is so absolutely beautiful with flesh tones so full of life and beautiful features, the colors, background texture and words are perfect too.

  4. Love her and all of the color in the background. I agree with Sharon that the flesh tones feel alive!

  5. I can see a change in this painting and it's gorgeous! The Flora Bowley class made an impression on you. I'm so envious....I'd love to do one of her classes.
