Heart The Art Prompts 2010 Week 47 "Quote'

  Yes it's 2011 and yes these were all supposed to be finished by Dec. 31st but I said I would finished it and I mean it!  It's personal now.....
This prompt obviously came on a day when I was feeling unusually pessimistic and just downright negative.  What?  Me?  Negative???  Yes it happens, I'm human and crappy things happen to good people!  Anyhoo!   The Quote is a great one from the exceptional artist Pablo Picaso and it was perfect for my page.  It is profound isn't it, that even now this quote rings true?  Hope you enjoy this entry and if you have any thoughts about it..... let me know what your'e thinking  :)

Baby Love xox

  Today was the baby shower for Bambino Nerino  , a gorgeous baby boy belonging to my friends and co workers Christie and Michael Nerino.  This little guy is so adorable and beautiful I just can't stop looking at him when I'm around him!  I wasn't very good at sharing him with others at the shower either....sorry!    I'm such a baby hog!
  Anyway!   I really wanted to make something special for him and his parents and decided last night at around 8 pm what I needed to do.   When I create a painting or piece of jewelry for someone I love adding a personal detail that makes it a true original , something they will never get anywhere else.  I remembered that Christie had always called Michael her " little bird" when she spoke about him and so I decided those words would be main theme of the painting .  Once I decided the theme, the rest just poured out of me and it all came together. Here is the painting I created especially for baby Michael and  I know with his parents love, he will grow wings to fly like the little bird he is.  xo

  No it's not my birthday yet, however week 42's prompt was "birthday" and that is why I am journalling about what I'd like to do for myself when My birthday arrives.  First I just need to say that I will be turning 42 and the  prompt is #42.  If I was on time with all of these it would not work out that way.... weird!
  Anyway this is the spread I came up with and it's colourful , fun , whimsical  and I think it works.  I have a lot of work to do if I want to lose those 10 pounds because anyone that knows me , knows that when I have free time I'd much rather be painting or creating jewelry.....exercise is not a priority but it has to change.  Getting older means the cheesecake doesn't come off as easy as it did when I was 30!
