Merry Christmas

I sit here 2 days before Christmas enjoying a freshly made breakfast burrito and drinking my (own) coffee at the market. It's 7:30, far early for me to be out getting groceries. I've surprised myself this year that holiday anxiety has not been a part of the picture. It's a true miracle because I really can't put my finger on it. (I could guess but won't.) I think about the last 2 Christmases that I wrote about on this blog and I know I don't even want to revisit them. Somewhere along the way I took a giant chill pill this year. 

The past 2 weeks I've even done some art. Just for the fun of it. And plan to do more today, right before I clean house and start making pecan pie. The kids will be over tomorrow and I need to figure the menu for sure before I leave the market this morning. Last year the lines were clear to the back of the store and I don't plan to participate. (Although it was fun chatting with the other shoppers.)

A little art to bid you a very Merry Christmas. 

(iPad, Repix, Snapseed, Retouch, Facetune, Image Blender, Over)

A little Lightroom and Photoshop for you. Supplies by Anna Aspens and Dawn Inskip.

Art Washes

December's digital art project is about fonts and text and making art and being creative.
After finishing this piece I really want to make a few more. I plan to have this printed on canvas for sure. I have a few quotes in mind...Now to go play some more.

Beauty

"Every girl longs to hear that she is beautiful. Her heart needs to believe it's true. But her true beauty radiates from within. And as she ages, she realizes the mirror isn't the true reflection of her beauty after all." -rh

My second 'mixed media' type piece. I'm taking several classes this year some of which don't have anything to do with the others, but somehow they are melding together and I'm creating mixed media type work in Photoshop (and some on my iPad in Procreate.)
