Keeping it Fresh and a Giveaway

One year ago tomorrow, I decided to think about my artwork differently.  I started this blog with this post.  Who would have thought that in just 12 months, I would have discovered a mixed media world that was completely new to me, attended retreats, become a Stencil Girl designer, studied with so many wonderful teachers, and made some dear friends!  This is cause for a celebration and a giveaway!

Albert Einstein said "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

If you always plant the same seeds, you'll always grow the same crops.  Start Fresh.  Plant new seeds."

FRESH is the word up for One Little Word.  What have you done to keep your art, relationships, or life fresh?

And now, for the one year blog-a-versary give away!  Comment on this post by Sunday night (let me know you follow this blog and/or my FB page for one or two extra chances to win!) and I will pick 3 winners for one of my watercolors.   Each one is approximately 7 x 9-1/2" and on Arches watercolor paper.  I will also give away 2 of the Priestly Blessings stencils - one with the Hamsa, and one without (here's a link to the blog hop for that stencil, so you can see different ways to use it!)  Let me know in your comment if you have a preference!  So that's 5 winners!

UPDATE:  And the winners are:  Maria Ontiveros (Watercolor with the Henry Miller Quote), Beverly Baird (Hamsa Stencil), Claudine C. (The Heart Can Do Anything Watercolor), Textile Recycler (Priestly Blessing Stencil), Boo (Garden of Your Heart Watercolor)!

Thank you for visiting! I read and treasure every comment and will answer any questions as quickly as I can.  Linking to Art Journal Everyday and Paint Party Friday (links in the sidebar).
