One might think all I do is paint…that’s not true as I have varied interest and responsibilities. Art is life and life is art is a favorite quote. I make time for my creativity in whatever I do. Living creatively is a certain mindset, an attitude, a different way of looking at things. I try to see the beauty in all things and in whatever <span>I do…it makes life more beautiful.I </span><span>am sharing my cards with you so that hopefully it will be an encouragement if needed or just fun to see them.</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Here in West Texas the earth is waking up…Spring has come. The bright spring greens are busting forth and a few wild flowers are popping up. We have had some grey days but with them some gentle rains to replenish the earth. I am making myself wait to plant flowers and my garden as I know it is still a little early. Don’t you just love Spring!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">

It is strictly for fun and giving myself permission to play and experiment with my art. It must be something I enjoy. It’s about learning new skills and using tools I don’t normally use. It’s about producing 100 pieces of art that wouldn’t exist if I didn’t try the challenge. A daily commitment of making art as a creative exercise and stretching my brain to come up with 100 different ideas. </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">I am running behind in posting my cards because it’s more fun to make them!

Making things has always been fun for me. It is good practice to spend a few moments each day creating and challenging to find a few minutes to call my own. Stepping into my happy place is amazing!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">This year I decided to make “Postcards To Myself” as a series with inspirational quotes or encouraging thoughts on each one. I think we all can use a little encouragement from time to time, and a splash of color can make all the difference in your day. I hope you enjoy seeing what I create along the way and it brings a little happy into your life!</div><div align="center"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

When I think of Averi I think of her sparkle. She has a smile that just lights up the room and I wanted to try to capture some of her glow in this portrait. I asked her to pose a certain way for me and her Mom took many photos while her Dad held a spot light so it was truly a family affair getting photographs for me. Thanks to all of you! Don’t you just love technology…sometime?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is an impressionistic portrait not a photograph or hyper-realism.

I saw what kept Van Gogh drawing and painting himself 26 times, he wanted to get it right! Not only that his model was always available and worked long hours for free!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Creating a likeness is like chasing elusive butterflies, difficult to capture! I want it to be creative, to capture the feel of the person. It’s not a photograph or hyper-realism but an illusion. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They think it took DaVinci 16 years to paint the Mona Lisa and 12 of those on the lips alone, or that is the speculation. They do know it was the last 16 years of his life that he worked on it. I can imagine him pushing a little paint around every time he walked by the canvas saying …awe not quite there, a little more here.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You would think that a face you have looked at your whole life would be easy but I think that only makes it more difficult. You look but do you see? I also learned that you want to work from a good photo and not a bad selfie.

There wasn’t a drawing except with paint and I didn’t get the first bit of mapping in, but this is where I paint in the flesh tones using burnt umber, cadmium orange and white. Not colors I would ever choose to do a portrait but that was part of the challenge. Sepia tones are not the easiest to work with for skin. I usually use red, yellow, blue and white for flesh tones.</div><div align="center"><br /></div>

Finding the values…light against dark…pushing here pushing there. How do you know when to stop? For me it’s not about hyper realism but leaving the feeling of creating, a likeness, an artistic interpretation of the subject. Making marks or drawing is the root of everything when it comes to art.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9dRZaPaVhU6d8_vEFrGkbYcFh-WhYhI-p7mFsVrhcIodpDHyq4z2zwjmhJlzyucreNKPm-mOhLIRoPEbOTsnvRjuTcBDhRbJF037nOPvvI-7j_19kMjoyq8aT1T0QJFr3jnhPHziOqjh9f6hBRC3N-J55wh94jAKAR7c_8BB88gZgRCwxOx_Hi5g4mnmX/s5712/068274D5-ABB2-47A5-AF51-905F455EFD63.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9dRZaPaVhU6d8_vEFrGkbYcFh-WhYhI-p7mFsVrhcIodpDHyq4z2zwjmhJlzyucreNKPm-mOhLIRoPEbOTsnvRjuTcBDhRbJF037nOPvvI-7j_19kMjoyq8aT1T0QJFr3jnhPHziOqjh9f6hBRC3N-J55wh94jAKAR7c_8BB88gZgRCwxOx_Hi5g4mnmX/s320/068274D5-ABB2-47A5-AF51-905F455EFD63.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Head Study by Leada Wood</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Graphite</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXP8re-dt4u9Ksgd27tAGhdvhVigsZOZtbpkBxJJaT_fJq5CKBbQhYlMQJLhM_uTvYJTFpGesylbYin-AgPehg63oA9_5OYE72kKmHMdWpuQ-s3MKUSyJ3QxkyHaDFcM0-wamSyixgYtMb0qN73c22bUMsL-Kp_JOtnqEJxuWF96iOBuaCL8hgBOgmPFAW/s5712/5D810207-E21B-476C-AECD-7878FD3F15DB.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXP8re-dt4u9Ksgd27tAGhdvhVigsZOZtbpkBxJJaT_fJq5CKBbQhYlMQJLhM_uTvYJTFpGesylbYin-AgPehg63oA9_5OYE72kKmHMdWpuQ-s3MKUSyJ3QxkyHaDFcM0-wamSyixgYtMb0qN73c22bUMsL-Kp_JOtnqEJxuWF96iOBuaCL8hgBOgmPFAW/s320/5D810207-E21B-476C-AECD-7878FD3F15DB.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP8q61XBRs0VshpBDb9AcVmhxGpoCngDbbKv6Q6kZ_Tzd2zRZJYYvSn1iVrZLSZL7psJ1Dw2_1sHLTL1tfm6JQiIy0271nkYhrJBR150wYtXKgQe2AdLVHcCF5SSymM4xtGMnuucLKVvDfP62mKgA5Rb3Q8jTw7c7Bc_gZ3AjJtv7SfVBrGlfbNf7rpXDf/s5712/098EF244-B6CD-4007-A41F-83CDBC1A1A5B.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP8q61XBRs0VshpBDb9AcVmhxGpoCngDbbKv6Q6kZ_Tzd2zRZJYYvSn1iVrZLSZL7psJ1Dw2_1sHLTL1tfm6JQiIy0271nkYhrJBR150wYtXKgQe2AdLVHcCF5SSymM4xtGMnuucLKVvDfP62mKgA5Rb3Q8jTw7c7Bc_gZ3AjJtv7SfVBrGlfbNf7rpXDf/s320/098EF244-B6CD-4007-A41F-83CDBC1A1A5B.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg37WFqNmBoH5HX8KirMMqYs12SDCYyswfhoBZeJmi50qNoLKY9FHOgKjmjaANLXTJq2yCbIgEjIA90LUA6uPm-I1M6AQJDWNTH2gZYDHlsslAIvK1t7FB2shm8AfYoVqxT8kG5OTzqFMFVH3dozdjcoihxx3iz2ErIZrugma2DAc0NwZPejQnhF1jdfkM5/s5712/8C6848F0-0E66-4B93-A233-4403CF6CDEC1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg37WFqNmBoH5HX8KirMMqYs12SDCYyswfhoBZeJmi50qNoLKY9FHOgKjmjaANLXTJq2yCbIgEjIA90LUA6uPm-I1M6AQJDWNTH2gZYDHlsslAIvK1t7FB2shm8AfYoVqxT8kG5OTzqFMFVH3dozdjcoihxx3iz2ErIZrugma2DAc0NwZPejQnhF1jdfkM5/s320/8C6848F0-0E66-4B93-A233-4403CF6CDEC1.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 69, 58); color: #4f453a; font-family: "Franklin Gothic", "franklin gothic", "itc franklin gothic", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> "What is creative living? Any life that is driven more by curiosity than fear," brings to mind a really vibrant way of looking at life. </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 69, 58); color: #4f453a; font-family: "Franklin Gothic", "franklin gothic", "itc franklin gothic", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Creative living is all about diving into things headfirst because you're just so curious, It's like turning every day into an adventure, finding inspiration in the big and small things around you.</span></div><div data-paragraph="true" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(79, 69, 58); color: #4f453a; font-family: "Franklin Gothic", "franklin gothic", "itc franklin gothic", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> </div><div data-paragraph="true" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(79, 69, 58); color: #4f453a; font-family: "Franklin Gothic", "franklin gothic", "itc franklin gothic", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Life itself becomes a canvas…paint it with joy! Every experience, every challenge, and every little moment becomes a stroke of paint on this canvas we call life. It's about being brave enough to follow your heart and your curiosities, being grateful and enjoying every minute.</div><div data-paragraph="true" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(79, 69, 58); color: #4f453a; font-family: "Franklin Gothic", "franklin gothic", "itc franklin gothic", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></div><div data-paragraph="true" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(79, 69, 58); color: #4f453a; font-family: "Franklin Gothic", "franklin gothic", "itc franklin gothic", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">It's not always easy choosing curiosity over fear, it means stepping out of your comfort zone, trying new things, and sometimes, it means making mistakes. But that's the beauty of it! It's all about learning, growing, and making something meaningful and personal out of your journey.</div><div data-paragraph="true" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(79, 69, 58); color: #4f453a; font-family: "Franklin Gothic", "franklin gothic", "itc franklin gothic", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></div><div data-paragraph="true" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(79, 69, 58); color: #4f453a; font-family: "Franklin Gothic", "franklin gothic", "itc franklin gothic", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><div data-paragraph="true" style="box-sizing: border-box;">So, creative (curious) living? It's not just for artists. It's for anyone who wants to live a life filled with passion, exploration, and, most importantly, a sense of wonder. It's about making your life your masterpiece, full of colors, adventures and stories that are uniquely yours.</div><div align="center" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

I am part of a group called Let’s Face It and we are painting portraits for 52 weeks. Quite a challenge but it has returned me to my love of drawing and why I wanted to make art in the first place.

As I write this my heart is happy and thankful. We have had a challenging Christmas as our baby granddaughter has been critically ill and in the hospital. It’s not always cheery and bright during the holidays.

I bet you just sang those word in your head didn’t you? </div><div align="center">This beloved Christmas carol echoes the sentiments during this snuggle up and be cozy time of year. The days are gray and short and although it is warm and cozy inside it can be quite the opposite outdoors. </div><div align="center">We don’t get much snow around my part of the world but I do love to watch it snow and cover the earth in a blanket of white.

Kind of sad really…not the reason we celebrate Christmas, but ohhh the childhood magic it brings to mind. Around my house growing up he was very popular and made my brothers and I on our very best behavior…just the mention of his name got our attention! Believing in Santa was just plain fun. I was not damaged when I found out that he wasn’t real, just a little wistful that he wasn’t, and somehow that chapter of my childhood had reached an end. Although he was a spirit of imagination he sure gave a lot of sparkle to the Holiday season. I still enjoy painting the jolly old elf today and seeing the sparkle of wonder in a little one’s eyes when he is mentioned. </div><div align="center">Sleigh bells ring…are ya listening?</div>

<div align="left">Although there’s no snow…there’s lots of Mistletoe and Prickly Pears here in the Wild West. When I think of snow I think of Breckenridge . I love going to Breckenridge Colorado during the winter, the whole town is decorated and is a Christmas vision all winter long….Enchanting. I have enjoyed recreating some of those inspired memories in paint. I hope you enjoy them too.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjimeJn6Ua8BQJy9C9a3eEJnf516_hFN_CN4044vZxBN4Y9rdbYKW1R_c240f09gbMzdxmGtn602D9V9HtO27YD3O8g0y48EMhzY6JbjkE0p1lAAPZEFjv3b_CiE_aG6PlV8my6eqcgtkX2O12NVuFuwWyeNNAeA-H4BJUI6_ogwcXc38g-xyAsePcz80bq/s2238/5906B2DC-C92C-47D2-8B1A-9F98D3C7AC25.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1547" data-original-width="2238" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjimeJn6Ua8BQJy9C9a3eEJnf516_hFN_CN4044vZxBN4Y9rdbYKW1R_c240f09gbMzdxmGtn602D9V9HtO27YD3O8g0y48EMhzY6JbjkE0p1lAAPZEFjv3b_CiE_aG6PlV8my6eqcgtkX2O12NVuFuwWyeNNAeA-H4BJUI6_ogwcXc38g-xyAsePcz80bq/s320/5906B2DC-C92C-47D2-8B1A-9F98D3C7AC25.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">“Back Country”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Copyright Leada Wood</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Watercolor</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEion-8GnwGMXMNe1OHaBeUBntzErvnhfLfOCKRKkhryM3rDwCbyfKCL77tWKA_l71d4U74B_G1-yZSctag7yvuzbipYgQLs2MI4CtsytZ2nAWXxnYRgeKgq6EQNzCyEUMGTkALUnw0LH1Ugs_gkCDykbSIehcoXZYDWEwMogTjw2VT1u4XG9esVsuFbNRRi/s3565/0512EDBE-341B-48F3-BEAF-71174DCBFE6A.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3565" data-original-width="2624" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEion-8GnwGMXMNe1OHaBeUBntzErvnhfLfOCKRKkhryM3rDwCbyfKCL77tWKA_l71d4U74B_G1-yZSctag7yvuzbipYgQLs2MI4CtsytZ2nAWXxnYRgeKgq6EQNzCyEUMGTkALUnw0LH1Ugs_gkCDykbSIehcoXZYDWEwMogTjw2VT1u4XG9esVsuFbNRRi/s320/0512EDBE-341B-48F3-BEAF-71174DCBFE6A.jpeg" width="236" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">“Heading Home”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Copyright Leada Wood</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Watercolor</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4nBpKGGPEBt2tQQR_W67NcU3sdY0He24fjneQ2aoW9AjXj54mrHTyMjVGOd28cNk7051oqF_dDfugU471QqLE41FF0DWYe1skGgW3ds4HdcNCIyUqM41-tLWLw1qW2uvCaUOIr2wORX63MVE-OB3sr9JQsbG9BuHAkquL0-vh6rFBX-svYMBvQIw-UrZF/s4032/58F613F4-E37A-4AE0-8EEB-93EAB0740A23.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4nBpKGGPEBt2tQQR_W67NcU3sdY0He24fjneQ2aoW9AjXj54mrHTyMjVGOd28cNk7051oqF_dDfugU471QqLE41FF0DWYe1skGgW3ds4HdcNCIyUqM41-tLWLw1qW2uvCaUOIr2wORX63MVE-OB3sr9JQsbG9BuHAkquL0-vh6rFBX-svYMBvQIw-UrZF/s320/58F613F4-E37A-4AE0-8EEB-93EAB0740A23.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">“Girl With The Blue Scarf”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Copyright Leada Wood</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mixed Media</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>These are a few of my paintings that are in the Caboose Watercolor Society’s Winter Wonderland Show at the Heritage Museum.

The ritual of sharing time and traditions with those you love. Whether it’s watching Christmas movies, decorating the house, making cookies or crafting, you are creating timeless memories. Christmas is the celebration of love, joy and hope that began long ago in a manger in Bethlehem.</div><div align="center"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYq2mct87iS_oAXkZCXFqmghEmlUUthxD475UhrmlssBwf1vn0RG4BN4qEJUJIHexANjttuUrNjNq1eZY0CaVCOpq4APM-4M_1XGnBFixAObIWfv0MF50Aqso7wNjNvRetkpFCz4Yek-GE-xcFR1ycYw9u9d8G13ed4dDQN2nziOMl1J5JEd2iIe0cohIB/s4032/CB3794EF-8AE3-423E-B345-2A13B914F461.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2885" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYq2mct87iS_oAXkZCXFqmghEmlUUthxD475UhrmlssBwf1vn0RG4BN4qEJUJIHexANjttuUrNjNq1eZY0CaVCOpq4APM-4M_1XGnBFixAObIWfv0MF50Aqso7wNjNvRetkpFCz4Yek-GE-xcFR1ycYw9u9d8G13ed4dDQN2nziOMl1J5JEd2iIe0cohIB/s320/CB3794EF-8AE3-423E-B345-2A13B914F461.jpeg" width="229" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">“Nutcracker”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Copyright Leada Wood</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Watercolor</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have collected Nutcrackers since the first time I took my daughter to see the ballet.

It brought me great comfort then and still does. My Daddy and Mama loved Christmas! Our home was cheerfully decorated and had fragrant holiday smells wafting from the kitchen. My parents did Christmas well. The love in their hearts overflowed even more during the holidays.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;">I can still hear my Daddy strumming his guitar as we gathered to sing Christmas carols. It was a time for family, friends, church and holiday cheer. It still is today as I paint memories of Christmas.</span></div>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I have passed on my family traditions to my children, and grandchildren whom I consider to be my greatest creations. I hope that they will always keep the Spirit of Christmas alive in their hearts. Not just at Christmas but all year. And will think of me fondly with love…especially at Christmas.</p>

<span style="text-align: left;"> The Sktchy 30 faces in 30 days challenge was certainly intriguing as I’ve done several portraits but not 30 of them in sequence in such a short time span. I started with a drawing and used watercolor, layers and layers of watercolor. The course provided photos of a variety of people with amusing and often challenging poses. Some were created with a toned background which I found I enjoyed using with watercolor and pens and pencils. I hope you enjoy seeing these as much as I did in creating them. </span></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhW6xOT4KFGNzHVbOLNwzodAEN2nQbBA0p7MA0IwX8A8JlCMvm4yGAiEzCxtSkuf94Jjm88uGJAPHYIp3utUflT6G5V4GEKUsoaOVJ1x_g5jpYtUupV3PfHY5NZzCY6j0r2Lw0PCZ3y2NE4acvQJTZBUF0Tp4lNRo-ndBYv6knaCmhAaKzfZqy4yWS4w/s1800/F1FBF2FE-0176-4201-99EF-A0E2AA41ACD7.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhW6xOT4KFGNzHVbOLNwzodAEN2nQbBA0p7MA0IwX8A8JlCMvm4yGAiEzCxtSkuf94Jjm88uGJAPHYIp3utUflT6G5V4GEKUsoaOVJ1x_g5jpYtUupV3PfHY5NZzCY6j0r2Lw0PCZ3y2NE4acvQJTZBUF0Tp4lNRo-ndBYv6knaCmhAaKzfZqy4yWS4w/s320/F1FBF2FE-0176-4201-99EF-A0E2AA41ACD7.jpeg" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfGGN7uHRAiFQfnoPfOB2eAL2Ams4IwKsTjX69E7KfsEnd6snccQCQ0uZ3KjC674w0vdlvvxM0FQNBhule-6ZP-Z5j6OuR9Yt8z69pv6pg3yqH62Xwony3dMwgmHU7NeEf_w40YGCvzHA9AM9BVVH5zjXvaB86RDtZhCgmRakyxRerIOy6yU5iCP4M7A/s1800/8136B59B-640B-4889-9E01-8DCF74ADD816.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfGGN7uHRAiFQfnoPfOB2eAL2Ams4IwKsTjX69E7KfsEnd6snccQCQ0uZ3KjC674w0vdlvvxM0FQNBhule-6ZP-Z5j6OuR9Yt8z69pv6pg3yqH62Xwony3dMwgmHU7NeEf_w40YGCvzHA9AM9BVVH5zjXvaB86RDtZhCgmRakyxRerIOy6yU5iCP4M7A/s320/8136B59B-640B-4889-9E01-8DCF74ADD816.jpeg" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtu5bxc2TTbSEdhqLsnuOY3cJmVKr16rqFaZwiWWUHtKwCb_W27zErx1fNNFxjnT5UeHryBsaUUwjKTXBFC8RnIU9KxSFCsIfeRcLMat6p91OskcIefmSC5ss9Rbs9ZoZlhhGKl7Olqvpqkr8_2P5zAfQu1GR8MHaohMvaBNImLC-TeqxiA5353bgNdw/s1800/1393F288-12CA-4408-BB7E-43A01687E804.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtu5bxc2TTbSEdhqLsnuOY3cJmVKr16rqFaZwiWWUHtKwCb_W27zErx1fNNFxjnT5UeHryBsaUUwjKTXBFC8RnIU9KxSFCsIfeRcLMat6p91OskcIefmSC5ss9Rbs9ZoZlhhGKl7Olqvpqkr8_2P5zAfQu1GR8MHaohMvaBNImLC-TeqxiA5353bgNdw/s320/1393F288-12CA-4408-BB7E-43A01687E804.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSajZmPgKP3ECNwC8CgsGibZDlEZq4RrXF5daSIPe08GY750nhQSHfUBb5szprV7l6lc4-Fm5BE5HUskS2_ugv8JyR7MUxokntcr7IOHATngMbkKSI8JWP6vy9AeL_csuR13yvDQKHcAo7DdQY0Fsn1Gve0627l3FMnzwY_s7PuEDC0ePqWpS690-Z4w/s1800/3C41860C-03EE-4CB1-8D52-CFA483B03833.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSajZmPgKP3ECNwC8CgsGibZDlEZq4RrXF5daSIPe08GY750nhQSHfUBb5szprV7l6lc4-Fm5BE5HUskS2_ugv8JyR7MUxokntcr7IOHATngMbkKSI8JWP6vy9AeL_csuR13yvDQKHcAo7DdQY0Fsn1Gve0627l3FMnzwY_s7PuEDC0ePqWpS690-Z4w/w300-h300/3C41860C-03EE-4CB1-8D52-CFA483B03833.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p>I did one extra portrait as she was one I wanted to try so I did 31 portraits in 31 days. </p>

Did I mention making the box included getting to cut and paste and paint things? To this day it still gives me such pleasure to create things! Wishing you a Happy Valentines Day full of love and sweet pleasures!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They draw me in, relax me and put me into my happy place. I start with their eyes and if I cannot get that soulful look I start over. Lately I have been doing commissions, trying to capture the beloved pups who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Very difficult, working from not so great photos, hope against hope that I can capture their spirit and bring joy to the owner. I thought I would share a few with you.</div>
