I've just started this piece....just thought I would give you a little peek.
Have quite a ways to go....But I think I'm loving those eyes.
I'll keep you updated.
till then....
Sweet hugs everyone,
Jo
I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate. Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive. I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1. Listing our current home the end of the first week in November. We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance. We just want to be able to live more and work less. Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there. 2. Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest. We will visit 5 countries along the way. One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany. My family left Germany right...
You are such a talented artist Jo... I love that pretty butterfly!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteJo honey I can not wait to see the end results. I am loving this piece already. My weakness for art is faces. Love faces and this is going to be a great piece. You so gifted and so glad you are taking the time to be creative and taking better care of you.
ReplyDeleteHow is the weight loss coming along? Tell me your secrets because since my fall I have put it on and makes me very unhappy.
Love ya
Maggie

She's peeking back at us peeking at her! Thanks Jo for the peekview.
ReplyDeleteSneak peek at those eyes...how clever is that. I am liking those eyes too and can't wait to see the finished product. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThe eyes are beautiful.... and haunting. I adore the butterflies too. You really captured how ethereal they are.
ReplyDeleteI won't be around for a little bit, (working on a little project of my own!) but I will be back.
Peace and Blessings, dear Jo.
XOXO M.
Your art is lovely...those eyes really "SPEAK" . Now we need to ponder what the thoughts are behind the eyes.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the weight gain thing. My and hubby are retired too. When I married him Oct/10....and moved from the city where I worked as a clerk for a Judge downtown.....to the COUNTRY.....I did a lot of emotional eating (making the adjustments) and NOW
gained 20 lbs. I am so angry with myself.
My goodness you are so talented - I had no idea. Those eyes are amazing. sandie
ReplyDeleteReally! Never knew you painted such awesomeness Jo...I'll keep watching..er, peeking :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks very interesting already - i love to see how other artists start their work, so, thanks for sharing. And have fun finishing it!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, haunting eyes. That's what I say. Haunting. For now anyway. :-)
ReplyDeleteFrom what I am seeing already, that piece is going to be great!
