Namaste! For Paint Party Friday this week I created a buddha with mantras in the background. There are 4 mantras on this and they are: I am enlightening.  I am strengthening.  I am mending.  I am repairing.  I am healing.  I am reviving the peace and love within me.   I open to the fullness of my power.  I live my life with integrity.  I have the power to manifest my dreams.  Whatever I do is more than enough.  I am enough just as I am!  In challenging situations I am relaxed and focused on positive outcomes.  I am at peace with myself.  I harness my personal power.  I can.  I will.  I do.   I am loved.  Everything I do, I do with love.  I am receptive and open to receiving love.  My heart is healing, my needs fulfilled.  I let go of all resentments.  I forgive others and ask forgiveness and lovingly let go of the past.  I allow the abundance of the universe to pour into my heart.   I am bountiful, blissful and beautiful; bountiful, blissful and beautiful I am.  

It's Paint Party Friday! I created these zen sisters and gave them a mixed media spread in my art journal. A reminder to take flight in all my dreams, to seize the day and to treat my inner art critic self with tenderness .

This is a mixed media mermaid... I started on a sheet of thin paper with pencil, then oil pastels... glued it to a 16x20 canvas and painted it with acrylics. Then I added tissue paper for dimension, gluing and painting it on with liquitex. Lastly I sprayed some glitter :) why not? a little glitter in winter goes a long way! :)

I just realized I never posted about my mixed media Sun Flower Half Face painting. It was a work in progress that I just let my heart and mind play with... the colors, patterns, textures were all created as I let my mind wander... as you can see it was a long process to finally achieve the final creation!  Now I need to create another with the other side of the face! :)    Final
