I’m working on some ideas with my friend, Yasmine.  I’ve tried the watercolor on this 2 times now and it’s still not looking how I want it to go.  This time it does look better, though. Going to try again – 3rd time’s a charm, right?!

I felt instead things were pretending

kinda like campaigning

“I’m okay,” I said. I just needed to catch my breath.

 

Ever catch yourself trying so hard to make a situation work?  It feels like it shouldn’t be so hard, but you find you’re either in denial or bending over backwards to make it seem natural.

Ma’am? Your dysfunction is showing.

wander

Be forewarned:  I’m going to talk for a little bit about myself, probably sound really dysfunctional and…….. well, that’s pretty much it. I’ve been fighting with myself lately.  I see that I’m stuck and yet am unable to move past it.  I don’t feel like it’s an issue until it comes up in conversation and then [...]

Get Up, My Love

Reaching

One of the things I miss most about working on my art is that it created a quiet little place for me to focus on God.  I tried to focus on coming up with pieces connected with scripture where I felt connected to God’s promises, his love, his moments of inspiration through HIS own art: [...]
