ready

i am ready, 

all the paintings finished, labeled and priced. 

ready to be delivered to the gallery this week!

i am pleased with the result, 

at first if felt a little tighter than when i just painted flowers 

as an experiment. 

 i just couldn't let go of the fact that they were for an exhibition 

and that felt like pressure. 

eventually my mind surrendered and i was able to take risk, 

play and experiment once again. 

that's when i get the best results i find. 

for example, the painting you see here just wasn't working, i couldn't resolve it 

so i decided to risk adding a bright orange background to it... and it worked! 

good lesson ;) 

oh and can you see my henna tattoo? 

we had a baby blessing ceremony for a precious friend, 

she got a tattoo on her tummy and we all got one on our arms!
