Swirly Sunset

Just added a new painting on etsy that I am so excited about --- it combines acrylic, henna, and fabric all into one!!!! I was thinking I should make more of these paintings in different sizes.

Out of Fresh Ideas

I have the urge to paint but can't figure out what to paint......please help!!!  What do you think I should paint?  Suggestions that I receive get a FREE PRINT of any painting in my shop with purchase. 

How to Add Spice to Life!!!!

Recently I've been feeling so out of touch with inner self.  Often, I feel like I'm going through the motions but not enjoying anything.  So with the intention to add spice to my life, I did 5 henna projects last night ----- I have been so crazy busy at work that I haven't been able to do any henna art.  Getting some henna in my hands was so awesome.  Just relieved all of my work stress!!!

Here's a sneak peak of what I worked on:

Being Neglectful of Blogging Recently

I've  been so exhausted the last few weeks when I come home!  I have been busy painting but haven't been sharing them with you all.  Here's my attempt to get back on schedule!!!!

A World Full of Love!!!! Perfect image right!!

An Owly Night Pillar Candle - Handpainted with Henna Design

Just made something new that I am so excited to share!   It's been exquisitely created using 100% henna. 

As aside,  I just found out that the gallery I'm going to showcase my work was actually ranked #1 art gallery in Albuquerque, NM.  That's pretty cool! 

Showcasing My Work at a Local Gallery!

I'm happy to report that I will be showcasing my work at a local gallery.  Wooden Cow Gallery will be putting my work on display next month.  They loved my work and I am so excited to share my work with the rest of the community.  It's the start of something great.

A Moment to Reflect

Let go of your worries
and be completely clear-hearted,
like the face of a mirror
that contains no images.

If you want a clear mirror,
behold yourself and
see the shameless truth,
which the mirror reflects.

If metal can be polished
to a mirror-like finish,
what polishing might the mirror
of the heart require?

Between the mirror and the heart
is this single difference:  the heart
conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.

I love Rumi!  So much to think about....
