hi everyone!

It's Friday - my favorite day of the week.

Some of you already know

I haven't had the most inspirational week.

Regardless of how much i love doing this

or how grateful i am for being part

of such a supportive, creative community,

I still have moments of doubt

where i question what i do

and why I bother doing it.

Sometimes I question

whether i blog too often, or not enough,

or whether i should just stop altogether.

But then, I'd miss you all too much.

Of course i could visit your blogs without having one myself

but that just wouldn't feel like sharing to me.

Have i failed to mention that i can be anal sometimes? ;-)

So for me, it boils down to this:

I make art because it makes me happy,

and because i love the connection it creates with others.

And in this life,

when you find something that makes you happy,

you do it as often as you can. 

So here we go...

from my quick little pen sketch

to the fun part of the process... spreading paint!

purple and a blob of lime green...

shaping the hair...

more shapes and filling in with more color...

I don't know what was happening with my brushes -

I figure they're starting to crack up

from the long winter too...

I love dots. Just in case you didn't already know that. :-)

The soul sisters - done.

With dots. 

:-)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,

and check out all the other lovelies

on Paint Party Friday!

xoxo
