It is Finished!

I finished the piece I started here and continued to work on here!  Eliana and I dropped it off at Fiful earlier this week.  They were so excited to have original art.  I was simply blessed to create art, know that it would be put up some place, and be able to put to use some of Eliana's nap time for God.

Eliana enjoyed admiring my work:)

I had to take a slightly slanted shot since the piece is now in glass.  Kyle fixed up the frame with a little putty, new paint, card board backing, and new fasteners to keep the back on.  I married a handy man!

Here was my inspiration.  I took this photo back in July 2008 while vacationing with Tara and her family in Santa Cruz.  I was stunned by these flowers that seemed to hang upside down.

Project Progress

My art project is coming along. I worked on it for only one day two weeks ago. Then I got discouraged staring at it for days. While Eliana is taking an unusually long nap, I got some courage and added to my pastel piece. See the first photo of this project here.

I realized while comparing the piece I did in high school to the one I am working on that I had more color options in the high school art set. Thus, a trip to Michaels was in order. Now with a bit more variety, I am back in business.
