Found a new strength on Friday afternoon that I didn’t know I had. Last year I went through a relatively traumatic and extremely long birth with my first babe. This weekend was a furiously fast and far less traumatic birth of my second. They seemed totally opposite, one with drugs, one without. One with conscious pushing, one with animalistic takeover. One with a long painful recovery and one seemingly short. One with many trips back to the hospital, UV lights and supplemental feeding and one without. Both with beautiful little babes who we hope will be the best of friends as they grow up. God brings us strength where we need it when He knows we need it, but we need to remember to ask. The miracles He creates are amazing and if we don’t ask more often, we can miss out on them. Image by @morganharpernichols
To little dude who made me a mom. You are really the best. Will you teach your sibling to be just as cool as you are? Thank you to @ali_happer for capturing him when he was still little. I will cherish all of these.
I’m clearing out the studio and have a bundle of original paintings I’ve put up for auction on my Facebook. Use the link in my profile to check them out! Or: http://www.facebook.com/events/298216127740981 Bidding is open Thursday April 25 at noon until Sunday April 28 at 8pm (EST). Get some set up on your walls!
I had two friends pop in tonight for a quick little painting lesson. One of them saw my little sign I have up in my studio from my mom. It reads “do one thing everyday that scares you”. Eleanor Roosevelt said it. One of the friends asked what I did today that scared me. Usually my answer is nothing. I’m not one to try to push myself too much. Especially these days...so tired! But today I had an answer. I sorted old paintings and found some that had been sitting around and collecting dust. I didn’t like them and didn’t lost having them on my site. My scary thing I did? I gessoed over them. They will become something new. Something better. Something I actually like and want to share. Time for painting has been hard to find around here, so I hope I can find enough moments to be creative again.
