new work....from before i got blindsided lol!

so i'm finally feeling better....still a bit stuffy, but so much better than last week! yea! thanks so much for all the get well wishes! y'all rock! :D thought i'd post pics for y'all of what i did before i got hit by the nasty bug. my lighting in here is not so good because it's a typically gray northwest day today and i just didn't feel like setting up the light tent....but they are a pretty good representation of how they look in person.

these were all done as part of the online class i'm taking with the sweet and talented mystele. it's really pushing me to grow...something i've been needing to do for a while now, but chose (unconsciously) to stay where i felt safe. well, God had another thing in mind! lo! when i tried a couple of times during the summer to paint in the style i'm known for, all i got was frustration. i didn't understand what was going on at the time, but now i do. these pieces came so much easier and i feel much more connected to God's plan for the gifts He's given me. no more fighting for contol....i'm letting go. :D

blessings & hugs ♥
