FOREVER AND EVER


It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.

~ Jimmy Carter ~

I started to do a step by step progression of this painting but I got so into it that I forgot and just stopped taking pictures. I used all kinds of good stuff on this one, including molding paste.  One of these days I am going to have to do a video. Nelly bought me a new video camera for Christmas.
So I think she is telling me something.

Everyone please visit Paint Party Friday and check out all the talented artist.
Thanks Kristin and Eva!!
And everyone have a wonderful week!!!

    Love it! The details really make a difference- the lines on the rays of the sun, the texture, the layers. The music in the sky is fabulous.

    She is fab! I really like the rock wall. I'm always amazed at people who do step by steps - I love looking at them but always think it takes a lot of self control to do it! Happy PPF!
