[A little bt of randomness.....]

Wherever I go...

I meet myself...

.....Tozan

I painted this canvas before Christmas...

and thought it was finished...

but today for some reason...

I pulled it out again to stamp in some words...

and a scalloped heart...

perhaps the Universe thought I needed to hear these words...

again...

 thank you... yes.. got it...lol

I think I can now call it complete :)

and..

 I have a funny little story to share with you about this page...

Karen commented and then Ana...

that they thought the girl in my painting looked like me...

it is something my son often asks me... 

"am I drawing myself"...

to which I always reply no... 

because I just can't see it...

but...

the comment got me thinking...

because just before I sat down to paint this page...

I had been for a walk around our local lake...

it is incredibly pretty and tranquil...

and after the walk... I sat down on a seat just near the water's edge...

to meditate... and think... 

a large butterfly would occasionally flutter past...

and behind me were trees... the green grass...

and suddenly it clicked...

 I realized...

that without even consciously meaning to...

the page I had painted was the exact scene from that morning...

and that girl WAS me...

it made me realize again... 

just how easy it is to overlook the obvious...
and not be consciously aware...

of the very thing that is right in front of your eyes...

I'm grateful for these little nudges...

snippets of learning and reminders that are finding me...

and lastly...

I have joined in with April's wonderful facebook group...

the studio... a thriving artist community...

it is a fabulous group with lots of different things happening...

one of which is a monthly online book meet...

and this is the book April has chosen for the first month...

I just has to share it with you...

I've only just ordered mine...

but the adorable artwork alone in the book preview

 has me sold already...

I can't wait for it to arrive...

Loving my reading with the Artful Reader's Club as well...
looks like books are going to feature in 2013...

well that is enough randomness in one post from me...lol

wishing you all a happy day...
