Women

Today is International Womens Day. So much of my artwork involves women. I love to draw women and 'girlies'. There are many, many wonderful people in my life...men and women, but today is a day to celebrate the sisterhood of women on this earth. There are parts of the world where it is very hard to be a woman - dangerous to be a woman. Take a moment to send a prayer of love and strength out into the universe. It will find it's way to those who need it.

Here's an unfinished piece - I think she is very strong...

International Women's Day - be thankful for the strong women in your life!

Taking the leap...

So today I finally put several items up on my etsy shop (creekart). I also posted info. about my etsy shop on facebook, and put some of my artwork on facebook. I let everybody know how to find my blog. And then I sent out emails to my closest friends and family letting them know about etsy and my blog.

This is scary stuff putting myself 'out there' like this. Sharing my artwork with the world, (well perhaps a small part of the world...hehe). Opening myself up to comments, possibly criticism. It feels good to finally take the leap though. And so many of you have already contacted me with encouragement and support, emails, phone calls, and comments on facebook - thank you all!

Here's a piece (another girlie!) that I am still working on - I had so much fun with her hair! I think I'll do a few more like this.

Hope you have a creative day!
