Cheers!

For my friends at Paint Party Friday and Creative Every Day:


You guys are amazing!  Every last one of you has inspired me and challenged me to grow as an artist and expand my horizons.  Here's to finding ourselves and losing ourselves more and more this week and in the coming new year!  Cheers!

    That's it Janice, you've got it so right, it keeps us all so sane and balanced, well it's a real need for me, even if just a little doodling time, so relaxing! So cheers to you too, I love all your creations!

      I've really been doodling a lot lately, Kat. It is so very centering. I'm glad it does that for you, too.

      It gets even more interesting when you start posting your response to those challenges for everyone to see, don't you think? That's really helping me to grow as well.

      It's so funny how I had it in the back of mind that I had to reach some imaginary level before I should share my work here but since I took the plunge I find myself growing so much faster. Thank you for stopping by, Gina.

    Lovely calligraphy! I like the combination of the stark black and white with the soft watercolours.
