No longer quenching my spirit...

Fighting the urge to paint over my wall ... a harvest/autumn mural is on my mind and my fingers are itching to grab my artist acrylics paints/palette .... the harvest is plentiful indeed... and I will not refuse the urge to use my gift .. I guess God anointed my hands to do goofy things that soothe my heart and my spirit ... I will not quench the spirit of the artist in me ... Lord help me ... I see a mess of paint and gesso/un-gesso ahead ... and I will enjoy every minute of it! ... OFF to reproduce the image in my head altering as little as possible of what is already on the wall ... I will merge and blend colors and come up with as close to what is in my mind as possible ... or at least try!

Yesterday evening after crashing I woke up around 3 am and have been up since ... not one to be idle I grabbed canvas paper and my palette and painted the avie just by looking at the screen of a handsome and inspiring brother on here (Ron) and hope to take a picture of it and post it later after drying and if he likes it I will send it off to him free of any charges or interests and no strings attached.... Prior to that I painted the avie of the lovely mother of our sista the Bariatric Foodie hoping to see her at the OH conference ... instead I completed changing the framing of it and will send it off to her...

Wish me blessings in expressing myself on my wall once again ...  losing the hummingbirds and blending into oh my soooooooooooooooo many images flashing around in my head LOL 

Is this weight loss related? you bet! painting is an awesome alternative to snacking... it is fun... soothing ... relaxing ... and guess what ... acrylic paints are so flexible no one needs to be perfect...

My wall has a sad painful history that I shared before ... I will beautify that busted wall each and every time in my own way ... it is no longer a wall of pain but a wall of victory! The wall that I chose for the background of my digital empowerment journal ... a picture a day keeps the pounds and the inches away....

OFF to make an artistic mess .... TTYL!!!

 Congratulations! What a huge victory.

  Thank you!!!  so far I have killed the hummingbirds and this is my second break... My dearest son (who can be a royal PITA) made and bought me a plate of his awesome baked winglets (2 pieces) with a tablespoon of his mac and cheese creation ... so I took a quick break and now back to my wall ... I killed the hummingbirds and still toying around with my harvest wall ... I see sunflowers, water, moon, fallen tree and a pea**** still ... no idea how I am going to work it all in ... in the interim I am working along getting this basket out of the way and mind's eye... updating in between breaks..

How about some Golden and Orange fallen leaves?

 Great idea... I added a tree ... it is not done but I am about to crash now... I lost 3 hours because I went with my DD to the grand opening of her friend's dance studio in Orange... when I got back I still wanted to paint and now look at the time YIKES.... this is what it is looking like so far... and that pea**** is working my last nerves so I may just get rid of it...

 Back to my mural this morning... thinking I should just gesso out the pea****'s feathers and give it another shot... sigh.. why does everything '****' related tries to be difficult? got to remind myself that I am way out of my element painting animals from mind's eyes....
