AFTER SEVERAL FAILS ... A ROUGH DRAFT OF MY BUSTED WALL...

I could not find the thread I shared with you with the history of my busted wall yesterday so I will be obnoxious starting a new thread...

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR AWESOME INPUT ON MY BUSTED WALL THREAD THAT I SHARED YESTERDAY.... YIKES I WAS UP ALL NIGHT AND CAME UP FOR AIR WHEN MY DOORBELL RANG AND IT WAS MY RUNNING BUDDIES ... AT 4:00 a.m. I was up all day all night... because I had this itch to re-paint my busted wall...

I painted ..gessoed ...re-painted and gessoed again... by the time I thought I had a rough draft I could work with it my runner friends were telling me I had paint all over .... .. with no sleep and still tons of energy... I was a total mess ...can someone please tell me how I got more paint on me than on the wall ... paint on my tooth? seriously???? ... 

This is the rough draft of my busted wall I shared with you on yesterday and you were so kind to encourage and support this goofy old sista on the journey ... it still needs tons of work .. I am not doing justice to the hummingbirds but then my forte is painting people ... I gessoed out the upper stem to the flower on the top (all the flowers are unfinished) and now where I thought it was too busy something seems to be amiss...

Thanks for allowing me to share .. after trying to unpaint myself I wound up with a splitting headache ... which I shall try to sleep off ... but the darn wall keeps calling me ... and I still have that itch to paint what is in my head and I am not yet seeing on the wall.... The hummingbirds and the wall are in total rough draft and unfinished ... 

Thanks for allowing me to share this goofy thread.... to keep it on topic I shared with you my busted wall ... and me picking up my brushes and my canvas and my artist acrylics instead of a fork and rocking my awesome hobby of painting on my walk away from morbid obesity ... one day at a time... one choice at a time...

I like it! I really like hummingbirds. You are doing a great job!

 Thank you... sorry for responding just now I had a splitting headache all day ... then I got up and went downstairs to check on the wall and decided to add a few more hummingbirds ... and I did and now my headache is gone... woot! LOL

This is beautiful! Keep up the geatwork. You are such an inspiration!

 Thank you Karen ... I added a few more hummingbirds but it is still not finished ... and I even made my empowerment collage with it just now LOL ...

 It's so pretty! Makes me smile just looking at it. I'm inspired now to do something creative! 

 Creativity rocks ... sometimes I get so creative I get in trouble LOL ... I added more hummingbirds to the wall... it is looking like this now but it is still unfinished ... I had a horrible headache and after painting for a bit just now it went away ... so I think I am going to clean my mess and go back to bed to make sure my headache stays gone... I overdid it yesterday...
