The Artistic Side of Pneumonia

After 5 days of coughing too much and taking cough medicine by guzzling straight from the bottle I made a doctors appointment and found that I do indeed have Pneumonia. Friday I felt "sub-human", but with the help of antibiotics I can finally say I am once again feeling "whole".
I'm not 100% by any means. My energy is lower, I have no appetite and well there is the coughing which is improving ... I think. :)
This weekend was amazing in that I FINALLY got back into my studio! I think it missed me too. I was able to make three background from the "How to Paint a Girl" e-course by Juliette Crane. I had to do it in stages, but it got done and that felt good.

For a long time I have liked Yellow and Grey together

and finally I made that happen, I added the 

Cobalt Teal for some spunk ... if you think it looks drab

then you are not seeing the potential I see :)

This looks very similar to other backgrounds and yet

feels very different to me. I cannot explain it, but I 

feel like my art is changing ... how? Well that is an 

excellent question, but I cannot answer it. Maybe its just 

less forced. I'm not trying to create something out of nothing

because the "nothing" feels like something... or let me

say the blank canvas is not scary, its inviting. 

I cannot seem to pull away from the bright colors, yes a

true child of the 80's, that influence still lives on!

This necklace is created from 11 separate pieces

and is not yet finished. I love "pretty mixed with industrial" 

I have always like it. I love steam-punk too ... these 

jewelry pieces by Susan Lenart Kazmer sold at Michael's spoke to me.

The piece below the flower says: The Earth Laughs in Flowers

The White and pink ribbons were already mine :) 

I hope you are all finding ways to stay creative even when you think you cannot. 

Have a great week!
