To be nobody but yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; never stop fighting.

All my life I have tried to conform. But never could quite do it!!! I was always the rebel. Just a little off. Never wanting to be and do what other people wanted me to do. So stubborn. I am so glad I did not conformed. I have lived quite a colorful life! (And I'm not done yet!) So much color to be added to it!!! Life is great!!!
Do something this week that you have always wanted to do but was different from what everyone else does! Try it!
I know I will. This week is my Birthday Week and I am going to do something unique. Not sure what. But something different!
Don't forget to leave a comment!

Hey Happy Birthday for this week - I'll be intrigued to hear what this unique adventure will be - do share once it's happened!!
This lady looks like she knows a thing or two about the ways of the world. Very wise and noble.
Early HAPPY BIRTHDAY greetings to you. I love e.e.cummings! And your art is splendid as always! Here's to you being you and finding that something special to do this week in honor of you! HAPPY PPF!
Wow Heather..she is FABULOUS! Stunning work...so deeply meaningful and empowering!
We are kindreds..i have always been the black sheep..rebel and different...but i love that! Glad you have embraced your unique nature!!This piece speaks volumes...it is very potent..and the power-feathers emanate such Freedom and Knowing your own truth..and thinking for oneself ..such empowerment! I love the foliage ..the meditative style mandalas and feathers around her...awesome!!

Oh Heather she is just gorgeous! Hope you have a very Happy Birthday and so something really special! :-)
I love this painting - so full of imaginative detail & vibrancy. I also really like the accompanying quote. Wonderful entry for this week's PPF!
Happy Birthday! Enjoy your week!

I love all the detail you've put into this her expression is perfect- almost a combination of pride and defiance.....and I think it's wonderful how each of the feathers at the top are different but has it's own place- much like us artists who differ from the norm, but somehow manage make our own way....Happy Birthday- and have fun celebrating being yourself!
she's beautiful in her stunning headdress! wow.
and happy birthday this week!
Wheee!!! Happy Birthday Week!!!
Your beautifully colorful spirit shines through in all that you do :)
I love how you've incorporated the text into this painting! (and her headdress - wow!)
I'm looking forward to seeing you on Cresendoh (and am so, so honored that you've included me - thank you)!

What a wonderful painting. I thought the regular version was really beautiful, but then I clicked and looked at the larger one, it's even more amazing.
Enjoy your birthday celebrations.
Wonderfully done ~ Love you art style! thanks~

Hi Heather, love the painting and happy birthday week. I've never managed to conform totally, I heard my Grandmother telling someone once that I was an artist so it explained alot... both ladies sighed and ummed in agreement....just made me laugh.... have a good weekend
Happy Birthday Week to you! Awesome painting and amazing message! Great work! POP ART MINIS
Happy Birthday! I hope it is a fabulous day for you! :)
So exciting about the guest spot. I'll be traveling this coming week, but will try to stop by and say hello.
Your painting is lovely and that's a great quote. I agree with you entirely about the conforming thing.
Happy PPF!
she's beautiful. i love the colours and her fabulous headdress! i hope you have a great birthday week and keep on living life to the fullest! i love your attitude!
Awesome! We weren't made to be cookies spit out by the same cookie cutter shape! We were all created to be individuals! I'm a bit quirky! I'm just "me"!
And, all of your work is beautiful, too!
OK, this is my favorite of your girls so far. I've probably said that before, but this one is it!
Beautiful Beautiful Work! Thank goodness for the rebel in all of us who choose to let the freedom of who we are out in such artistic ways. :)
I love it, a B-Day Week! You go girl, we will be waiting to hear what you got up to, in the meantime I'm going to work on some fun myself.
Happy birthday! Another gorgeous piece, I love her eyes. And great quote too.
Your words ring so true for me too, Heather!!! I just adore all of your paintings but I think this one is my fave so far!!! I just love her headdress of feathers!!! Happy birthday and happy PPF!!! Deb
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Heather! I hope you have a wonderful day, (week) and year!
She is gorgeous and I love that quote! Wonderful!!
love it! and I will try to do something out of the norm this week too! Great thought!

Beautiful portrait, I love the colors and the serenity of gaze.
She is wonderful! I just adore your faces. :) I'll make sure I'll check you out on Cresendoh.
Such detail! Just great. Congrats on Crescendoh! Way to go!
Oh my goodness Heather, I love your work. Thank you for your kind comment on my blog this week--we both wrote about being ourselves! The e.e. cummings quote is beautiful and powerful.
Heather, she is absolutely stunning! What a talent you have!
Heather, I so love your entry today. The beautiful woman and the wordings! Like you I am trying not to conform but sometimes I struggle with being myself. I have to be true to myself and I think that's the only thing that matters because everything will just follow. Thanks for the inspiration.
So happy to have found you through CED - your work is fantastic! so inspired. Happy Birthday!!!
Oh, happy belated birthdayweek wishes!
Love your girls´expressions.
Oh Heather,
