Opening to the possibilities

Synchronicity, serendipity, good things coming together as if by magic. Through Art & Soul I have learned new skills, both artistic and social. The experience truly is uplifting my soul. Today I went on the Portland Open Studios tour with new friend Deirdra. Although our navigational skills were at times hilariously lacking, things we found in common with each other were not. How wonderful to spend a beautiful fall day enjoying art while making meaningful connections. The joy of life opens itself to me, and I accept it with gratitude.

A face a day progress: I took the previous day's pencil face and had fun with another one of the techniques Misty taught us, using artist crayons and acrylic paint. I like seeing the evolution.


Have a wonderful day tomorrow, and if you're local, I recommend the Open Studios tour - the art and the studios are inspiring!
