It's here---40 and counting! Thank you!

Thank you all for an amazing week of birthday wishes!
I swear, I could read the comments every day for the next year and not run out of inspiration
with all the kind words and uplifting messages for not just me, but for yourselves!

There's still time to enter in my big 40 birthday contest--see the last post to enter until midnight on the 13th!

Here's a final version of my new painting, which is 24 x 36 and titled, "North Beagle Street". I had a hard time getting the full picture and all the details so check out the cropped closeups I took of some of my favorite parts of the piece.

Deeply embedded roots.

My symbolic 3 flowers over top some personal journaling, nested next to a whimsical tree.

Can you tell I love the color blue???

Here's wishing 2009 brings you an abundance of dreams.

Cheers to my friends and family who have made my life so blessed.

And now on to the next 40 years of a creative life :)
