Ever feel like your hiding behind a mask?

Painting in process.....Masquerade 1

Masquerade 2

Masquerade complete

It's been a while since my last post....I took an informal hiatus. Been feeling like I hide behind a mask, the mask I put on for the world. Don't get me wrong, I love my life-it is more than my wildest dreams-but changes are coming and I'm hiding.......

Not taking myself so seriously today....

I painted this girl in January this year, inspired by Suzi's Petite DOll Class. While looking through some of my work in the past year it dawned on me that I too often take myself so seriously....NOT TODAY...life is for living. I am working in my journal today, my underlying thought: "i am exactly the person i want to be today...all is right with the world":-) I will post it when I am done.

I love this rant.....how true is this of anybody. I have to work on my self image, from the inside out. As long as I am right with myself, God and others I should be all right with the world:-)

Playing with Senneilier oil paint sticks and Reflecting

I bought sennelier paint sticks to play with last December. I love the flesh tones they produced and love working with them. It takes a little patients though as you have to wait for the oils to dry when you want to add another layer without blending.....

Been reflecting on my life a lot lately.....am I the person I want to be right now?????

Inspired by One....

More angel faces...inspired by the number One today. The word just popped in my head on my walk today...it became my mantra ;-)

This is a two page spread, it reads"one day at a time..one moment at a time...one singular sensation...one moment in time....one fine day...once upon a time...The journey of a thousand miles begins with the FIRST step....one step at a time...
