Group Show @ Helios

Last Friday was the "opening" for our group show. One of the other artists took some pix so I am sharing. Lauren, Danny, and I dropped by and got to chit chat with my instructor and another painter I know. Even though it was gray and rainy and I was sick with a cold, it was still cool. Lauren told me she was proud of me for getting back into painting and how cool and happy she was for me to return to something I am so passionate about.

We also had a great conversation with my instructor who said unsolicited that I should take my painting seriously because I am "very talented." YAY! Always nice to be affirmed about your talents by someone you respect. My next goal is to find studio space to paint hopefully this fall which Danny is seems to be more determined to make happen then me. :)
I'm so glad God created me to love the arts and painting. It is such a blessing to my inner spirit. Sounds corny, but true. I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that in many ways, painting is a form of worshiping God for me.
