playing and creating

I found time today to play with misty
and
all the others that are working on self portraits
~~~~~
this is one of my big headed girls
and
it kept me IN my comfort zone
but
the next one
took me
totally OUT of my comfort zone
BUT

I actually like this one....quite a bit

and now for a little florida





I decided not to add music to this one so that you could hear the ocean and feel the wind with me....

You and your little dog look so carefree walking down the beach -- I love the sound of the ocean!

I love both of your pieces -- isn't getting out of the comfort zone freeing in the end?!

So glad you're doing your art in Florida! I love you big-headed girls and starting with the comfort zone to get back into the groove is great. But oh, your other -- just splendid. I see you smiling!

Jeanie said...

Fantastic! Thanks for taking us along on your walk.

Good choice to let the ocean do the speaking.
