What's New Monday!

The first new thing that I want to talk about is the Treasure Coast Women's Art Alliance that Carmen started. I loved going to her house and breathing in the creative air that was smoking out everywhere. I don't know what it is about being in a room full of creative women but it is so wonderful and inspiring. I had my reserves going at first because I'm not one of those people who can just make friends anywhere I go. It takes time for me to be comfortable around people and even longer to make friends. The amazing thing was that it was so laid back and easy to fit right in even though I already knew Carmen and Lauren it was nice meeting everyone else and having some girl time. The next women's art group is June 27th at Carmen's. If you live in the area and want some girl time with a creative flare then come and join us!

My friend Lauren is the featured artist for Treasure Coast Women's Art Alliance. She paints sea shells, rocks and coral. Its amazing at how small she can paint and the little saying that she comes up with are so cool! She is giving away one of her creations so go check her out!

I have finally started on this 3 painting project for my friend Matt. I just got the backgrounds done but as I was working on them last night so many ideas are coming out. I had dreams about what it looked like when it was finished. I'm loving this new challenge for me. I have done a lot of research too. The reason for the research is because Matt wants an Asian theme to it and I have never done any thing like that before. So I had to look up all Sorts of stuff like Geisha, swords and cherry blossoms. Here are some sketches of what I going for.

Yes, I know the exposed breasts are a bit much but he is a guy!!LOL Breasts are really hard to draw too. Getting them to match is so hard!

I really liking this project, I know have said that a lot but I do! And the fact that it brought me back to sketching is a wonderful bliss. Going back to my first love the pencil!

Well thank you that read this and I hope you all have a blissfully great Monday!

Namaste,

I still HERE!!

Yes, I know that I have not blogged in forever!! But I'm coming back with a bang!! So What have I been doing? Well I wish I could say that I was in Fiji working on my tan...but no I was reading. I love to read. I get so into a books that I can't put it down till I'm done. I guess its my escape from the now. I have also been creating necklaces. My friend bought me these glass charms which are so beautiful. I would love to know how to blow glass! The circle one Carmen bought from me and I will have these on my etsy shop!

My little dream painting! I was just painting with my daughter and this came rushing out of me. I'm starting to see when I stop controlling my talent and just let it flow it feels so much better.

This one I'm not done with but I'm loving where its going. I like the title "Crying Rainbow" but I have to see what else I'm going to do with it.

Now for the big news. My friend wants me to paint him a picture. Well, not just one but three that will be hung up to create one big picture. The ideas that I'm going with are out of my comfort zone but I'm really liking the challenge! I will be blogging more about this when I have something to show!

Thank you for reading!

Namaste,

a moment with my source

After doing some yoga, while mediating I had a moment with my source( Higher Power). It was very insightful and yet hard to explain too. I was sitting there thinking of affirmations to concentrate on. Like I love myself, I am worthy. But they were hard to say so instead of stopping and taking a shower. I explore them more. I opened the door of open-mindedness a little more. That's when it happened. A voice in my head said,"You are loved, you are worth, why do you not believe this?" I in return I thought," I haven't done enough. I never have done enough to feel enough. I need to do more to be worthy, to be loved, to be enough." The voice spoke very low and replied," There will always be more. More love, more worth, more kindness, more hate, more ugly but all you can do right now is enough. You have been though enough pain, enough ugly, enough hurt. You deserve every great, exciting, wonderful, blissful thing that comes your way. Take it and feel enough. You are enough just the way you are. You are enough!" I was so filled with emotions that moment I had to cry. I did and it felt wonderful to let it out. To realize that all I have is enough to give in the first place is very eye opening for me. My new favorite word is enough!

I AM ENOUGH!!
In this moment do you feel enough, do have enough, do you want enough? For such an easy word it means so much.

Namaste,
Tara
