When we arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food, and joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself.

Progression
Scrapes of paper glued down with Golden Soft Gel (Matte)
Working on the face
Like to get the face just right
Cut the paper for the feathers
Paste the paper feathers on with Golden Soft Gel Medium
Paint the butterflies
Just adding the details.
Softened it up a bit with Golden Titanium White
and added some scribbles.
I am also working on a new piece.
This is the biggest piece I have ever worked on.
I love looking at the possibilities.
So much fun!
Can't wait to see what it turns out to be.
Also it is my husband I my Anniversary!
26 years!
So indulge me a bit because I have to dedicate this post to my lovely husband.
I have been posting this song for the last few years.
It has become my song to him.
It tells it all!
Love you Stephen Foust!!!
It's true, I was made for you.
Happy Anniversary!!

oh my-she is so very beautiful and I love the native American saying!
thanks for sharing your process. It's amazing the transformation from beginning to end. And what a beautiful way to honor the goddess -- gratitude is the most beautiful of emotions. Your palette is perfect for this piece.
Love her, so beautiful and love the subtle colors and white scribbles, so luminous! Love the saying, too! The WIP looks great!
