More and More

Life. More. and more. There's always another 5-year-old with a doting parent. Always another Communion. Always another Bat Mitzvah. Same painting, different people. The people who pass through my life. I'm glad to have this talent to bring to their lives -
a skill that helps them passage through, experience their lives.

Glitter Tattoos

I tried glitter tattoos (I drew them freehand - didn't have any stencils here.) Interesting, nice.

But a friend had told me to use an eyeliner-pencil to outline the forms. Luckily we tried it at home first. Because that eyeliner-pencil made the tattoos look too heavy. And worst of all was the horrible way it wore off over the next few days. I wouldn't want to do That to a client.

Anyway, here are the first few trials I did at home. As you can see by the pink arrow that I did without the eyeliner-pencil, it looks just fine without an outline:

A Slice of Life

And here are some pictures that I took while I enjoyed my day.
I had arrived early for the Little People's Event that was described in the previous post. So I enjoyed walking over the Brooklyn Bridge - just like a tourist. Without having to fly on a plane.

If there's not enough time, we can vacation right in our backyards. On the way to work. Lol.

4th of July Party

Oh! Looking through more of the photos near the recent post about painting at the Little People's Convention - Ahah! That was the 4th of July! I remember now - most of the paintings were adapted for the holiday. All different people, some suffering from their conditions and some just enjoying life - it was interesting for me to be with this group:



















And, as is wont to happen - "I want one just like his:

Little People

I painted at a Convention of Little People several times over the past few years. Of course, I've had experiences with little people in my life - they do the same things that I do, but this is a different experience. It's a time when the Majority of the people are little. And it's an eye-opener for me as to how many of them are in wheel-chairs, how many of them, even the very young ones, undergo many surgeries and pains. I'm so fortunate that my jobs bring me to meet so many wonderful people:











To give you an idea of the day, here is a picture of a girl that's about 4 or 5 years old. Can you see how big the regular chair is for her?





And here are some more people that I painted. Even if I paint the same design, the experience is different for each person who gets it:

Changed - I had a New Best Day of My Life

Good Morning -
I just came to my website, and had a shock. I just came to my website this morning because I was sending a link to a new client -
I wanted to see what it was that she would be seeing. But I was the one who was so Surprised. to see my most recent post about the best day of my life. Things have changed so much in such a short time!

On April 16, 2010, I knew for sure that I had G-d in my life. That
I would no longer have to do everything for myself. Such a turn-around, such a dramatic change. To find this very post, a post that I was so happy with such a short time ago....

It was February 22 that I wrote that post. So that means my priorities changed completely in less than 2 months..... Actually, it changes in an instant = in the instant that you Know you have to believe and you start doing that. I can see Soooo clearly how much I've changed! I'm soooo grateful
