i think you need to give your post a title in order for comments to be made.

I loved your piece. VERY COOL = lots of texture and great colors

Okay, now that we’ve hit the last little bit of the class, time to play catchup. ;) I decided that the 6×12 size I chose originally was weirding me out, so I went back to my regular 12×12. I’m just more comfortable with it.

This is from week 2, the prompt was risk and one of the words was adventure.

Never Lose Hope

The unanswered questions always linger the longest…especially when the question is why? Is the level of pain we experience in our lives ever equal to the amount of happiness we feel? Probably so…but when we’re in that place of pain, no light seems to break the darkness.
So where does hope come from? It’s a mystery to me even though I have found it in myself when I didn’t think I had anything left inside. It is a gift and for that, I am thankful…because no matter a person’s age, sex, religion or culture, hope transcends everything.
I’d love to hear your thoughts…

I have fallen way behind so I’ve decided to start at the current prompt and work back.
I’ve done a lot of thinking about hope and faith in the last few years. During the boxing day tsunami there were many tales of humanity and caring in the midst of tragedy and even amidst the cruelty that surfaced during Hurricane Katrina, there were tales of goodness and kindness. These things give me hope for mankind.

Dabbed yellow paint in one corner. Stencilled some bodies and shaded them with watercolour pencil. Stencilled loads of hands. Handwrote ( and botched again) my thoughts. Wrote some quotes on the bodies.

This is the page I did in response to the “procrastination/what should you be doing?” prompt. My youngest son is in kindergarten, and I’m going through a transitional period where I need to figure out how to use my time. I don’t have any answers (yet), but I have been doing a lot more art.

Took paints, then a print from a magazine ad. Took real life pictures from the flood, stamps, more paint. Then went real “mixed media” by using the imprint from my braclet (it is O mane padme hum) written in Sanskrit, along with some found objects.

Thinking of the events of this past week…there’s so much to say, and even more to do.
I let others’ words speak for me because my words would never be so concise and articulate:
“Ideas are the root of creation…”, Ernest Dimnet
“Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal…”, Abraham Lincoln
and “To make a life is more than to make a living…”, unknown
