An Artpiece a Day for 365 days!

This treasure was in a vintage boutique called Nest in Guerneville!  This inspired me to rediscover the joy of creating through a twelve month creative challenge starting on April 16th, 2014!  This date is my son, Mackie's birthday and he will be 19 years old!  I am dedicating this challenge to him as I create for three hundred & sixty five days.  I am motivated to create an art piece between 4x5 and 4x6 in size!  And I will post it online at this blog!  I hope to pour my heart and soul into these postcard size artworks and to dig deep to rediscover and express a shadow of my artistic spirit!

Let Your Spirit Soar

Feel your free spirit and breathe in the fresh air!  Each day is a new day!  Enjoy yourself to the fullest extent possible!  You have only one life to live! xoxo.

    Wishing you a very happy holiday 
           and a merry new year!
