In the studio this week . . .
I finished preparing and editing a Bible study
for an upcoming women's retreat.
Lots of working with words.
And I have lots of backgrounds prepared
to play with
on little pieces
that help me be brave to try new things
for the big pieces.
Which always inspires
my "growing big" girl
{because she's "not little"}
to try some background
experimenting of her own . . .
with my pastels.
Fearless, she is.
Bold and enthusiastic.
"Look what I did! Isn't it beautiful?!"
She inspires me
with fearlessness
boldness
enthusiasm
excitement to show-and-tell.
She draws stick figure smiley-faces of me
with square-scribbled hair
and a sunshine over my head
that looks like a flower.
I love it.
If I am writing, she wants to write.
She is learning her letters.
If I paint, she wants to paint.
She knows her colors.
We teach each other.
So much.

ReplyDeleteWow ... look at you grow ... look at us grow ... awesome post and I love the new header!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! It's great that you have someone wanting to join you...I've had mine doing the same.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Bible study...God bless!
Beautiful background pieces. I love that "big girl" is right there with you teaching you that childlike freedom we use to have as kids. Precious.
ReplyDeleteI love the warm colors - smart to do a bunch of backgrounds at once! And how fun that you have a little sidekick who likes to do art along with you. :o) Stopping by from Studio JRU.
ReplyDeleteHi there Jodene! I do love the bird and the butterfly backgrounds, too! I love when Angel sits down to create because I am...over our icy blast here in Texas, she came to me and asked for a needled and thread, sewed at my machine a few minutes (after asking for a big piece of material) and then showed me her very own stuffed animal she had created - no pattern, just out of her head! She is always amazing me that way!
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty! These backgrounds are gorgeous. How special to be creating together and learning from one another. Her work IS beautiful! ♥
ReplyDeleteYour post, as always is lovely. My daughter is the same. She has always loved doing what I'm doing and she is soooo talented! I am gonna post some of her work on Monday:)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your E-course. It sounds amazing. It truly is something I want to do soon. Right now focusing on finishing up SR then tackling my own 31 Days Challenge in March!!
Grace to you this weekend.
