I've been busy painting today! I have created another Mati Rose like elephant and Kellie Rae Roberts like girlie. You can't read the quote on the girl but it is one of my favorites: "Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake" Thoreau. Now I'll get to the best part of my day...and I can't help but hear these song lyrics in my head, "Reunited and it feels so good"! For those of you that know what I'm talking about...I found them!
I returned home from An Artful Journey and unpacked my bags only to find that the paintings I created were gone! I looked through everything....or so I thought. After filing a 10 page missing property report with the airline, I found my long lost paintings!
I set aside time to paint and create today and as I was pulling out all of my supplies from a box that I took to the retreat, I saw a tiny piece of wax paper peaking out at me. I thought, no way, it could be the same wax paper I wrapped my paintings in. So I sifted through all of the supplies, only to find my 6 pieces of artwork. I cannot believe it. It could be my grandmother up in heaven that made them reappear, or St. Anthony, or any other person you know of that you count on for bringing back lost items. Does it really matter? I was relieved and shocked at how well they endured the trip back home. So, without further ado, here is what I created at An Artful Journey retreat:
I am so thankful that I found them! What did you find today?

If you didn't I would have given you lots of nice words about those pictures you took and the memories we made, but honestly...I woulda been lyin!!!!!! Your paintings were just too darn gorgeous to be lost somewhere!! Ha!! I am feeling so relieved for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do love those new paintings that you did today. It is so smart to be practicing this soon after the retreat. I have not had much chance so far. Though, I did paint all day. It was just my bedroom walls. Why isn't this as fun?
Yayayyayayayayayay!!! So happy that your paintings are home!

Hi Andrea
ReplyDeleteI rode with you from the airport and I'm so happy to see you found your paintings. These new ones are gorgeous. It looks like you've taken what you've learned and made it your own. Keep it up. They are beautiful!
