Starving Artist Forum

Spring time is in the air, and kids are playing while flowers bloom, and even the most stale of people can see the color all around. Enjoy the beauty and wonder of Spring and try new things as often as possible.

Before falling in love and starting a family, I was just Belle, and I was an artist. Now it seems I have no time for art, but plenty of experiences with family.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the choices I've made. I just wanted to properly introduce this art card, Spin Time in my Etsy Store AND my newest blog  http://themomsbookofworries.blogspot.com/

My friend's challenge paid off! It actually got me out of my rut and into watercolor! Here is the proof of 'life' again! The little artist inside me is stretching and yawning after her long, long slumber!

Above is the actual flower bud and the resulting painting. I have to give a special shout out of thanks to my DAWG sisters, Jenny M. who challenged me to complete a new painting and of course Dawn S. T. who took the awesome photograph which was my inspiration.

This was done in miniature scale, ACEO format of 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is available to purchase in my Etsy store, http://www.etsy.com/listing/45556431/spring-bud-aceo-dawg-personal-quest-from

Thank you! Enjoy Spring in whatever inspiring ways possible and share the joy!
