A new beginning...

I used to keep a blog once upon a time. I just looked and it's been two years since the last time I updated! That's a long time! I thought I might just restart that blog back up but the more I looked at it the more I just really wanted to start fresh with a new one. I've changed a lot since then. My style has changed a lot since then. My obsessions have even changed a bit since then. This past year as brought me a LOT of changes, not just in blog form. So yes... I will be starting fresh and this is where I will share my latest obsessions. And lately that is art and art journaling.

My latest finished project is this "madonna-ish" woman. I was thinking a lot about and feeling a lot of gratitude on Sunday when I made it and this is just what I ended up with. She is done totally in oil pastels smooshed around with my fingers. The best way to do art, I think! I used funky colors on her and I'm pretty pleased with how she turned out. She could be better but I'm not going there. I will just keep plugging along and practicing.

Soon I will have a link up to some of my other finished projects thus far. I also need to finish my first face of the 29 Faces challenge for May. I am using my first watercolor angel from Angels in my Studio that just started up this morning. I was totally NOT going to do this challenge but after watching all the talk of it in some of the Facebook groups, I just couldn't stand it anymore and I decided to give it a go. I'm hoping to get caught up on some of my other projects by doing the challenge. Here's hoping anyway!
