"Wholehearted"
I have just completed a Mondo Beyondo Dream Lab with Brene' Brown. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. Words are not enough! It was all about Wholehearted Living. About the need for belonging and being enough ,about self compassion, about courage and shame, It was about "Its ok to not be perfect". Oh so many things. If you ever want to read a really great book get Brene Browns "The Gifts of Imperfection" Letting go of who you think you are supposed to be and ebrace who you are. It was well worth the money and the time. I love classes that make me search my soul and grow.
I learn something new about myself everyday. I am a seeker.
This is my very first Friday Paint Party hosted by Kristin and Eva. Come and visit and join the fun.

Oh she is gorgeous! I love the idea of embracing who we are - just have to figure out who that is...I will continue to seek too.
She is definitely a beauty Heather. Sounds like a great book. I love the butterfly on her shoulder and her very serious look.
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love it!
She is wholehearted and beautiful! So great you got to enjoy the class! Oh, I will have to add that to my book list. I agree on loving classes that make you stretch as a person. ~Theresa

Your emotions come out in your art--she's beautiful!
She is very beautiful and I love the background as well.
Oh, she's so gorgeous! I LOVE all of the little details: the butterflies, the heart... and what a beautiful message she brings.
She looks awesome! i love you pretty faces! I haven't taken Brene's dream lab but I have seen her on youtube and I think she is fenomenal.
She is just beautiful! Love those little extras like the butterflies. :-)
She's quite stunning Heather. I love the soft color palette you've chosen.
I especially love the background and the butterflies.

I always enjoy looking at your art Heather. Particularly love what you did with the background here. It really seems to complement the girl who is just lovely :)
Oh she is wholeheartedly beautiful...just exquisite from the dreamy look in her eyes, the textured background to the butterfly on her shoulder...stunning... :)x
Welcome to PPF! :-) Your work is beautiful and I look forward to seeing more of it.
Your work is beautiful, heather. I just had a quick look at some other pictures and i love the owl you did. You mum's is brilliant too but yours is so quirky and whimsical- i love it!
I'm so glad you've joined the party! Yay!

GORGEOUS. Happy Weekend Xx
She is beautifully, the colours so complimentary...I am loving the journey I am on with faces...love her x
That sounds like a great class and book. I could use that kinda thinking. Your painting is beautiful. I think she looks like you in the eyes for sure.
There is so much peace and serenity in her eyes...great work!
She's beautiful! So feminine and spring-y :) I like the way you did the background and the text, and her lips are lovely! Such wisdom about the acceptance of self and the end to perfectionist thinking...we can be so hard on ourselves. If we free ourselves and let go, that is when we truly shine.
Have an inspired weekend!
It's OK not to be perfect but your painting is pretty darned close! A dazzling portrait. Welcome to the fiesta!
Heather, Your painting is so very lovely. She had the sweetest light in her eyes. I love her hair too, I have a thing for braids.
I love this painting! I like what you did with the lettering too.
A lovely portrait and the background work is amazing. Just lovely. Thank you for sharing! ;)
She is lovely and the name is perfect. I have a hard time with names of my pieces. The background you put in is wonderful as well.
She's lovely Heather! So enjoyed your piece and your post! Will have to take your advice and check into your recommendation. GREAT blog! Off to look at more of your art:)
Your piece is lovely. I like the color scheme too. Will have to get Brene's book. Thanks for stopping by to visit me. :-)
So much gentle love in this painting =)..and the symbolism of freedom in the butterflies. Wonderful work, Heather. Thanks for sharing! Kathryn
Ooooo! She is beautiful, I love her eyes...and the background...such a soft kiss of a painting.

I love your paint party friday and this wholehearted Girl is the bomb!
Sounds like a great course. Brene Brown is a smart and inpsiring lady that's for sure.
Her eyes speak....beautifully rendered portrait. i like the combination of design and color.
The book sounds like something I'd be interested in.....I'm one such seeker.
