ART: "If you're a bird, I'm a bird" & a giveaway!


Well, I did it!  I finally got around to painting my first piece of art this year!  I'm way out of practice so this definitely isn't my best but I feel better now that I've done it.  I'm always so much less stressed out after painting.

Yesterday I had an appointment with a new neurologist for my crazy migraines, and I was super nervous about it.  She gave me something to help with the pain and also something to hopefully help prevent them.  She was very concerned with how much worse they have gotten over the past few months, and I've also lost close to 15 pounds (which I REALLY didn't need to do) so she is also scheduling a brain scan....which is pretty scary.  Until then I am going to try to put weight back on....somehow.  I thought about trying those Ensure shakes.  Has anyone out there tried them before??  Anything else you suggest?  I'm also going to try to start working out more to get some muscle weight on me.

Anyway, back to the art!  This is the second piece from The Notebook that I've created.  The first one was an acrylic painting from the "kiss in the rain" scene.  You can see that one HERE.

I painted this one in about 2-3 hours.  If I would have taken a little more time on it, I probably would be happier with it.  Oh well, it got me back into the rhythm so I'm looking forward to creating more soon!

Here are a few progress shots:
