Learning to paint from within.....
Let me introduce you to The Goddess of Divine Contentment.
She is painted with twinkling H2O's, metallic gold paint and her heart sparkles with glitter.

Painted for the Artful Gathering class, "Our Lady of the Divine Spark", by Shiloh Sophia McCloud. 
It  has been eye opening. (which could be why my goddess has such big eyes)...
(don't know why she has big lips)lol
I am learning how to  throw away the critic, invite the muse in, think about what I treasure and want more of in my life....and pray as I paint. Putting those emotions on the brush and in the paint as I scrub it on the page.
In the past  I often listened to my intuition as I did art, but not always.

Maybe she doesn't exactly look content....I like her more for the feeling I got....
When I painted this I was thinking about one particular day. It was sunny, flowers were blooming,nothing special was going on, but I felt content.
