“Brave in grace”
This piece came together so fast… from the moment of the idea to the final touches, it took me about 1 hour. That includes gathering the elements and supplies. I painted with fever and passion because of what lies within this piece, the messages to my soul, the symbolism and making peace.
The inspiration coming from a hurtful email that I could not get out of my heart and my head and I had to.. had to ….paint it out. My hands shook as I painted faster and faster, with tears in my eyes.
That’s what I love about the creative process, it can open us up bare, it can tell the story that we can’t say ourselves, it can provide the answers that we can’t yet figure out. It’s healing for me and there are these unexplained messages that happen, that I believe are divine when I’m creating.
I share all about it in today’s video
Supplies used:
11×14 mdf board, scraps of paper, gesso, fluid acrylic, glazing medium, crackle paint, charcoal pencil, double sided tape, Thermo web foil
Stencils used: in the garden, vintage postage, let it fly

I often wonder what is wrong with some people that they can only focus with negative thoughts, is it jealousy, is it there own hurt, I will never understand why someone feels the need to hurt another My motto is and has always been if you cannot say something kind don’t say anything. I Like that you wrote out your statement of who you are and what you believe, you could also go back and look through the thousands of positive messages you have received I am sure those far outweigh any negative comments. I appreciate your sunday messages and that you are so willing to put your vulnerable self out there for other to learn to live in grace. So I celebrate you and your art.
