Biting off more than you can chew :)

Biting Off More Than You Can Chew

I was so excited to see those huge, fantastic, almost wouldn't fit in the car canvases!  Man!  All the thoughts that went through my mind, dollar bills y'all!

Now they are leaned against the wall in the spare bedroom, so big, they won't fit an eisel, "What am I gonna paint?" , "Oh my gosh look how much space that is to cover!", "Good Lord!"

All the while my spirit is jumping around inside of me clapping her hands and excited for the challenge.

Then you have the part where I'm like, "Okay, this has to be something absolutely breathtaking!"

My spirit yells "I know!"

Back and forth we go and I'm still looking at pictures, trying to get ideas, a tree came to mind colorful background, dark tree, a light house in a sea storm and I have an amazing picture to use as an example.  The biggest mermaid seascape of my career?  Then there are the butterflies, because it's all about the butterflies and they've come back around as a point of interest.  In case you don't know butterflies are very difficult, because they are perfectly proportioned. 

What to paint, what to paint.

In the meantime I'm trying to relax, to try simplicity, it's not that serious, just put the brush in the paint and see what happens!

Wood burning projects on the back burner because to paint is to breathe.

I'm not going to say I bit off more than I could chew because those two canvases have been a dream of mine for a long time and please forgive me but I have no desire to paint an angel on either one of them.

Just soaking in the goodness of God and sticking to small beginnings until those two are the last two available.

Then the fun begins!

RIDE OR DIE!!!

WWB!!!
