"And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace."
~Romans 11:6

I'm really enjoying these mixed media pieces. Learning how to use all the new media is an adventure!
This was the first piece of art I made in the new year. It takes me awhile to get pictures taken. I've been playing with collage techniques and having fun with it. I heard this quote when I was watching the Kennedy Center honors last year. Barbra Streisand was being honored and they attributed this quote to her. But after looking it up on Goggle (what did we do before Google?), I found that the quote is actually from Samuel Taylor Coleridge, one of the romantic poets from the Lake district of England, and writer of Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Kahn. This is an example of how things sometimes get twisted in Hollywood.
I've been playing with different mediums and techniques. I've always been fascinated with any creature that flies.
Their music still sounds good to me. Why is it that some music is timeless, and some is only for the time? I have to admit, Paul has always been my favorite.
As I grow to understand life less and less,I learn to love it more and more.
"Given an equal amount of intelligence, timidity will cause a thousand times more problems than audacity."
This piece is done with actual red ruby slippers. The center of the poppies are embellished with beads. Pieces that have red ruby slippers usually prove popular at shows. The appeal of The Wizard of Oz is timeless, apparently. Although they are several days in the making, I do enjoy creating them. I hope you'll enjoy what you're doing today, too.
