FRIENDSHIP

i just have to say...go in closer for a texture view...
..this was an interesting process for me...
the foundation was from not wasting paint on another background
paper...paint, light molding paste, one impression made, i started to put it back on the gloppy paint i had going on...wait...i lovvvve these colors, i lovvve this look...LEAVE IT ALONE AND LET IT DRY!
then the painting itself came fairly easy. and i liked the look of lefty there with the foundation peeking through, but thought...hmm ...it's such an unusual color and started to paint her face some more...wait...LEAVE HER ALONE, JUST go FOR IT! do you like it...hmmm...no....i LOVE IT!...
then put the paintbrush down!!!!
lots more went into the process of this than said here...i wanted to share SOME of it.
then a decision on words, no words, collage dresses, dried flowers???? decisions, decisions....
then after having such deep and wonderful conversations with joanne rose (http://joannerose.net)
the words finally came!!!!!!!!
listen, hear, stillness and whispers...
then last night (whew) it's getting lonnnng here...
i was thinking about friends that are tangible and friends that are met in cyberspace...
how fortunate we women are in sooooo many ways...like our friendships, and how we can confide and love one another, appreciate and learn from one another...UNCONDITIONALLY!
XXOO...this painting represents some of those grateful feelings about the truest and lovliest of friends...be they tangible or cyberspace...they make such a wonderful, tremendous gift in our lives!
maybe i should put a title to it..."our blessings"??!!
..."soul sisters", with a little color change (computer)...

they are groovin' now!
