Happy New Year!

This year Im not picking a word or making any resolutions.  This year I will take each day and try to remind myself that life is good.  I will try to focus on my artwork and set small goals, and each time I reach a goal, I will set another...  One day at a time for me...

Wishing us all a balanced, prosperous, and peace filled 2014.  Happy New Year!

I miss

I miss my past... I miss my Mama....I miss my babies....I miss security....I miss being an innocent child....I miss being an unborn baby, safe and warm in the womb with no thoughts or worries or concerns....I miss that feeling of peace....I know that sounds a bit looney...to me too-ha!  But I guess I imagine that I miss that :)

I worry so much, I think it is my nature.  I wish it wasn't.

Just missing tonight...thats all...

Everything...

Sometimes logic tells you that its going to be okay, but still in your heart there is fear.  Sometimes you just have to know that love will win and that right will crush wrong and that EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.    EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY.

Sometimes...

Sometimes the only thing to do is to begin again; start over; try to learn and feel and trust, even when it feels impossible...sometimes you just have to try again or you will never know.

LOVE

Love; sweet, powerful, simple love...makes life worth living, makes each day worth waking up for.  So sweet and pure and simple.

Progressions of a painting....

In my mind, I wanted this painting to be whimsical and magical...to make you feel like you just entered another world, like a childs imagination....
Here are a few shots of the progress.  I am really happy with how it turned out.

Love, Kelly

5.  Hello dear great, great, great grandkids....even from heaven, I love you so, so much!
