keep calm



Well, this week flew by, didn’t it? Between work and play projects, my head is just swimming…in a good way!

It’s been busy but I’m keeping calm. I have this little statue in my office to remind me.

Two things…

I did it. I signed up for Carla Sonheim’s 2014: Year of the Fairy Tale online class. I’ve very excited for that to begin!

And, coming soon, one of my favorite challenges -- 29 Faces. I participated last February…it was really fun!

Who else is taking Carla’s online course with me? Or doing the 29 Faces Challenge?

I hope to see you there…for now Happy Paint Party Friday!!

    HOORAY!!!! I am doing a happy dance over here!!! Now we can be "Year of the Fairy Tale" buddies!!! Can't wait. We are going to have so much fun in that class. Carla is so much fun.

    Love all the colors in this one today. And I agree -- the week just flew on by - in a good way!!

    Have a Wonderful Weekend!

    P.S. I will have to try the 29 Faces challenge. That sounds like fun, too. I'm not too good with faces so this will be excellent practice for me. Thank you for mentioning this.

    I love the way the light falls on your statue! I'm going to do my best to do 29 faces, but I'm being careful not to overcommit myself and invite stress. Hope to see you there!

    Glad you can stay calm and lovely painting. I am not a calm person.
    moongirl mentioned Carla Sonheim’s 2014: Year of the Fairy Tale online class as well when I was at her site yesterday. I am hesitating a bit because of the price. I know it's for the whole year. But I am going to do the 29 Faces challenge.

    I love your sketch. I'm going to skip 29 Faces this go around but I can't wait to see yours. I was really intrigued by Carla's class but went to with Misty Mawn's new class called Full Circle. It begins January 20th.

    What a lovely painting.. I especially love the warm rainbow colouring - it really is quite calming! :) I've not been at my blog for a while, so hadn't heard of the 29 Faces challenge - it sounds like fun, I may give it a go! The fairytale course you're taking sounds awesome too!

    Faces? I'm in! (I'm not sure I'll post to the challenge site, but I’ll participate.) You’re going to LOVE the class with Carla! I’ve taken several and she’s a great teacher!

    Great painting. I've taken some classes with Carla Sonheim and learned so much, but I'm not taking the Fairy Tale class. I might do the faces challenge, though. I've done it before and have a great time even though I don't always finish!

    Great Buddha - I heard his history recently and he actually was very thin. You do him justice. May have to look into the 29 faces - would provide focus for me…

    Wow congratulations on your plans for 2014! I had a look at Carla Sonheims fairy tale class and I would love to do it but as I told you I do not want to jump around this year and because I have already done my planning I can't start now. But it will be such a pleasure for me to see your progress on your blog and I'm looking forward so much to this fairy tale illustrations you will do. And I love your buddah!

    Great calming art. You are going to be busy with the classes. I simply don't have time for those commitments. Glad you do and I look forward to seeing what you create
