Sassy stillness!?

Time is flying! It is already the second half of March. I have had a very busy first quarter with many visitors and a lot of fun! My sister with family visited over Christmas and my parents have just left after being here for 5 weeks. We have had such a good time. I have also been celebrating my birthday with a full day in the forest with kids and parents. It was magical! New Zealand is such a beautiful place!

My latest painting is "Sassy". Sassy is described as lively, bold, and full of spirit as well as cheeky. I loved painting her! She is a Mixed Media lady on a 12"x48" stretched canvas.

She got her name after comments I got showing her in one of my artist groups that I am part of. I was a bit worried that she looked a bit angry. My son think she does... but my arty friends thought she looked; alert, impish, confident, strong, purposeful, sassy... :- )

She is very textured, which does not really show in the photo. I have used paper, acrylics, moulding paste, crackle paste, oil pastel, colored pencils, ink and... probably some other things too:-)

Usually I learn things during the process of painting my pieces. I can not say that Sassy has taught me something yet. At the moment I am very focused of finding harmony; inner harmony and peace within. I do not know what "Sassy" will tech me related to that.

She is now hanging on my kitchen wall until I feel she is ready to move somewhere else. Maybe a new gallery that I will approach next week:-) Who knows??
