Twirling With Excitement!
Well, I'm twirling with excitement! My image, "Gabriel's Horn" (30" x 40" - Oil/Canvas - Sold/Private Collection) is on the cover of Dream Network Journal. Yes, I'm shamelessly happy and wanted to blog about it. I often write about the creative process, post the end results and let you know how I'm feeling! So, it's only appropriate to share my glee here, also! What makes this so exciting is that this painting, marked my ten years of being a professional artist! Much of my work has been derived from dream experiences. So, this weekend, I'm doing the thankful happy dance, anyone want to twirl around with me in thankfulness and happiness? Have ...
