“Believe in yourself”
I started a new pencil sketch to watercolor last week. I was thinking about what to call her, as I flipped through one of my favorite books, Simply Tuesday, by Emily P Freeman. In it, she asked “is your soul being held hostage by hustle?” She encourages to embrace today`s work. Find contentment in the NOW. Replace competition with connection. Learn to breathe in a breathless world. It is time to release our obsessions with BUILDING a life and BELIEVE in the life GOD is building within us.
So, I incorporated her thoughts into my watercolor girl and used these words as the journal part of her dress., then watercolored over them. I finished her with some paint splatters, and a little bird nest on her shoulder.
As I am visiting my son and his family in Dallas this weekend, I brought a few art supplies but they have not left my suitcase. LOL!! So I share a painting I did last week before I left and hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!!
