Earlier today, I pulled this painting down off of my mantle, where it has been sitting for the past month or so. I thought this one was ready for imagery to be pulled forward....but God had other plans. I kept trying to pull what I was seeing forward, but I kept hearing in my mind that the background wasn't done. So I fought it for a while, but finally I've given in. Trying to be obedient and go where He leads...for He knows better than I....even if it takes me a little bit to "get a clue". lol! :D
Here's what it looked like earlier, before I started adding additional layers...

I'm painting edges of finished paintings today in preparation for putting some new originals up for sale next week. Been quite a long time since I've offered any originals, so if you've been waiting then the wait is almost over. :D
Thanks for all your encouragement with this new direction my work is taking! I feel like I'm really starting to come
fully into the artist God created me to be...I just need to stay out of His way and let Him unlock what He put within me. :) Which, I'm sure you all know, ain't the easiest thing. I'm just gonna try to keep moving and trusting...
Have a fAb fRidAy y'all and I'll catch ya on Monday!!'
