This is a 12" x 12" canvas. I applied modeling paste to it's entirety. Obviously, some places are thicker than others. As I was adding the paste, my mind was spinning with excitement and joy. My next plan is to add the colors I was seeing in my head at the time...

I remember feeling ready to move on from the pain that I had been experiencing at the time. I was feeling strong and peaceful, knowing my life could be as full as I wanted to make it, completely in front of me, and mine to make the most of. I am feeling like that again for the first time in awhile. I can only attribute this to a renewed sense of willingness and faith and the courage to take the action around it. Surprisingly enough, doing the work, WORKS. Thanks, thanks, thanks...HP, sponsor, friends, and family.

| Painted mid 2010 |
I was desparately trying to get out of my black and red phase (apparently couldn't quite let go) so I was experimenting with some differnt colors. This was painted right after I finished my biggest piece titled "abandonment", which was actually a three year project. I was feeling like I was ready to break out and paint some joy. I don't know if it was successful, but I had fun doing it...most important, I think.
