PAINT, GLORIOUS PAINT!

I'm so amazed at myself! I actually painted on canvas! Whoooo Hoooo! Now, for a lot of you, that's no big deal as you are pros with the paint and brush. But me....I was actually afraid of painting! The self-doubt monster always told me I couldn't do it! But maybe, just maybe, I can.
I chose yellow because it is the color I want to be inside some day. I also felt that yellow just wouldn't let me down, you know? It is such a happy color that nothing could go wrong. I just played with it and other colors and splattered and swirled and covered up and just let it all come out onto the canvas. And you know what - it was freeing and amazing and wonderful!
Thank you for the inspiration, all my art-stranger-friends - Santa Cruz Soul Sistah, Jersey Girl, Small Bird, queen of yelo, and especially to A.C. , who encouraged me to experiment with paint in her book with no fear! Love you guys so much!
