2012

And so 2012 starts peeking its nose around the corner of 2011 and we notice it's presence there.  What are you looking forward to? What is your sense of this incoming year and the blessings or trials it may bring? Whatever your feelings, always remember, every trial is an opportunity to learn, and to receive the good that is in it; no matter what :) in love. trish

I for one cannot wait for encausticamp; I anticipate it's awesomeness, despite the trials it puts me through :))) This, and my trip to Australia!

Vanilla Shortbread Cookies

Vanilla shortbread cookies, indigo and hummus. This day is good. Merry Christmas everyone.

and so 45 begins~

the better part of the birthday in the studio; I'm not certain it gets any better than this :) Nothing finished, but everything indulged in and a definite direction established. I think this series is going to be going on for some time yet~

in love. trish

I painted myself a picture

It is my birthday. I am 45 today. I painted my self a picture. And it is beautiful. I will do it again; over and over. I will paint my self a picture~until my last breath thank you God almighty.

unfinished; do I get rid of the small white imagery? is it too distracting? (Still listening to this one and the following~)

take away the bold fabric? edge with same turquoise panpastel so as to unify? remove text altogether and just allow the plaster, scraffito, wax and eventual panpastel to speak? (first two attempts at working large 24x24 in this series~)
