I have written before (on another blog) about the art of forgiveness. Well, actually, the blog post is called “A Bit of a Breakthrough).  

This was just after I had been admitted into the hospital and wondering why the heck I was there in the first place, and then in the wee hours of the night, I got a “message” that I need to forgive in order to heal. And for those who wonder what the “message” means, I am a healer, not by choice but by heritage, it is a gift.  This was my message that I needed to listen to.  If that sounds crazy well then you are FINALLY starting to get to know me.  🙂

So I went into the hospital the last part of June this year and this is the final week of September.

I am just now, this month, starting to get back to my art. I am really happy as I have been ill for a LONG time and have not had any ambition to even pick up the pencil.

So THANK GOODNESS FOR FORGIVENESS…. as it has cleared my conscience and cleared my mind.

This is one of my latest paintings I have been practicing on.  I have decided to stay with my pastels. I really do love working with them and they are so familiar to me, I think we make a good combo.

(This painting is #147 on Leslie Saeta’s painting challenge this month)

Keeping in the theme of my 1920s silent film lovely ladies, this newest one made me happy with the polka dots, the hat, the whole package. 🙂

I am involved in an exhibition in November, so stay tuned for that, I may use this painting in it, but I am not sure yet.  I am going to choose my favorite photos for the upcoming exhibition, and work on them. I think I may only do about 4 paintings, I am not sure yet.  The organization has said there are going to be about 80 artists involved and I am looking forward to it.  I am thinking of doing a demo LIVE on Periscope. I think that would be so cool, and maybe do a giveaway of my demo to people watching LIVE.

HMMM… I might have to think about that for a while, and see what happens.  It would be lots of fun, Im sure.

So hopefully now, that my head is clearer, and conscience clearer, I will be posting some nicer art for all of my readers and followers.

Thank you all SO MUCH for following me and for reading my posts. Thanks for dropping by, I appreciate you all!

Ciao for now!
