Some Updates

I decided to join in to the calendar project at The Kathryn Wheel.  In my art journal, I made a calendar for October, using some of The Crafters' Workshop stencils.  It is so fun to have a place for little bits and pieces of my old watercolors!  If you go to Kathryn's link, you can see all of the amazing calendars that others have made.  I look forward to memorializing a little of what I do each day here. 

Yesterday, in addition Artists in Blogland launching Fall Fearless and Fly, Scrapping the Music posted a new challenge for October.  It's around an amazing song by Crystal Bowersox.  It's so catchy, and the lyrics are so great. 

I had fun creating my design for the challenge.  It's about my daughter Samy, who sings all the time!  I can't resist sharing a clip of her singing in a talent show from our town.

I hope you'll go over to Scrapping the Music and check out the great designs from the rest of the design team, and maybe create one yourself!

A little update on Bloom True, the ecourse I'm taking with Flora Bowley.  This week's theme is "being brave."  Here is how one of my paintings has transformed...

and another:

This process is so fascinating -- layering and layering, letting the painting evolve in an organic way.  It's scary - but I'm loving it.  

What's scaring you these days?  What are you being brave about?
