Balance through Connection

I've felt called to activism since the election and have been raising money for different organizations from the sales of my art. This week I found myself craving balance and compassion and the idea for this painting came to mind. All of our beautiful differences complement each other and together I really do think we can work toward balance and peace in our world.

I'm going to give a portion of the sales of this image to Girl Forward, an organization that creates amazing opportunities for refugee girls. I'll be donating $50 from the sale of this original painting and then $5 for each 12"x12" print.

Please spread the word.

Laughter

As the lone human female 'round these parts I just have to say how absolutely wonderful it is to have my oldest son's girlfriend around.  She's kind, delightful, intelligent, and gorgeous, but what gives me the most blissful pause is her laugh.  I usually hear it through my kid's closed door, and it's the sort of sound that lifts you up and plants a big smile upon your face. 

Now, if I really want to count the estrogen card carriers in my house, it's females for the win...two dogs, four chickens, and one me vs. Dave, the guys, and two cats.

My Hallway Mural is Finished!

Yup, I finished it. 

The family has been so great.  Dave thinks it's awesome.  My little guy thinks it's a bit "kiddish" and that I "should have started it a few years ago," but he also thinks it's pretty darn neat.  My big guy says, "That's really cool, mom."  And his girlfriend, the only other human girl that hangs out at my house these days says, "I love the cat.  It's my favorite part."

So there ya go!  The reviews are in.  And I'm giving myself five stars...see 'em?  They're right there at the top.

Oh, and when the light is low, the owls and stars appear to glow.  And now I think I need a black light!

Stop by any time.  The mural loves visitors.


P.S. The actual mural is more of a square shape.  My wonderful husband took a bunch of photos of its parts and seamed them together to create this image.  Thanks, Dave!!!!
