Happy Friday! This is my painting from Mati Rose's class today. It's on a 12×12" canvas and it's called Art is My Happy Place since I had that phrase in my head from yesterday's blog post. Coincidentally, Mati happened to say the exact same thing during her introduction this morning in describing what art is for her. So I guess many of us feel that way. :o)
The little girl in the painting is a section of vintage birthday wrapping paper. Thought that was appropriate since I'm celebrating my 40th birthday here. I imagined she was picnicking under the tree with her tiny cake.
Tonight is an art sale & I have my eye on a wonderful creation by one of the other attendees. So much talent here! We only have one more day, which is sad but probably the limit of everyone's creative energy. I'm having so much fun.
This experience is setting the bar pretty high for the rest of my 40th year, but I just have a good feeling about my art future and life in general. ♥
