Paint Party Friday

Happy Belated New Year to you all out there. I decided to take the month of December off  with art and posting about it. I just had so much going on with the holidays and fighting off a sinus condition that somethings just had to be put on hold. 
So now that the holidays have come and gone and my health is back under control for the time being anyhow. I have started working on art again. 
My husband bought me an online class with 
Mindy Lacefield. 
"Letting the Paint Speak "
So I have started working on that this week. 
It's out of my comfort zone but I am loving it  and letting loss a bit more than normal for me. 
First day was just throwing paint on the paper and letting it move. 

Then blending it out with a calming color...
....Next was adding a few of the details ...

...and then building on them..

...more details and more background colors and marks....

So this is where it's at tonight... will be working on the faces more next and blending in some calm spaces too. Who knows where they will end up but I'm totally enjoying the effort. 
Some Random Thoughts for Today..

I shared the second one on my other blog earlier this week but thought the message was worth repeating.

so hop on over and check out the gang.
