A Gift and a New Painting

Hello Everyone,
I want to share what I received in the mail from Marcia at In Stillness and Simplicity ~ a set of her beautiful "Blue Skies" tags! These are just so sweet and pretty ~ perfect for spring. Thank you so much, Marcia!

I love the quote on some of them by Ralph Waldo Emerson: "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen."  To visit Marcia's blog, In Stillness and Simplicity, click HERE.

I just finished this painting last night around midnight. It's untitled, but I've had a couple of suggestions for the title from family: "The Birds" and "The Hungry Games"  :)

When I finished it, I realized the kitty's face looks like my Buster - even though I didn't use him as the model! 

Buster Brown

Do you have a suggestion for the title of my painting? Would love to hear it, if you do!

Have a great week!

Until next time,

Cindy

Friendship ~

Hello Everyone,

Marcia from In Stillness and Simplicity and Jenny from Jenny's Heart are co-hosting a one-time blog party and giveaway, and the subject is friendship. So, I've created this post to honor all the special friendships we're so blessed with in our lives. It's also Jenny's birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JENNY!
