Show Your Soul

'Show Your Soul',
 watercolour and acrylic ink on paper.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. (Clarissa Pinkola Estes)

It was a stormy morning when I painted this picture today. I tried to get a feeling of calm and centredness (is that a word?!) The colours are cool blues and greens and maybe more reminiscent of a summer's day than a November one but I felt drawn to using soothing greens on this blustery day.

This painting is approximately 6 x 8ins, and will be available to buy in my Etsy shop.

You can't have my vases though! ;)

Hi Jess, she is beautiful, lovely expression.
No, your first comment didn't arrive, naughty blogger! I just went to do a post and Google are telling me that I need to upgrade and pay monthly to store blog photos as I have exceeded my quota of 1GB storage but when I look at my free allowance it says I have used 1%.
Cheeky question - do you pay monthly to post your blog photos? My blog is only a year old and I don't think I have excessive photos. Just hoping it is another blogger blip and it rights itself.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend (and a less frustrating one than me!).
