In August my friend Donna Steel came and visited and I was giving her lessons on how to create abstract art. This was a hilarious session for her given that she was predominantly a landcape artist. So we concentrated on loosening up her style, dry brushing and just letting go. During the session we had together we played around with hesian fabric as a texture. This was one of the pieces I created - it's been waiting for over 7 months to have resin applied!!!

FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness doesn’t mean you don’t remember your hurts. It’s something that you choose to do in spite of your pain. You need to be bigger than your hurt inner child and bigger than your raging ego. Be realistic - don’t expect pain to go away because it won’t straight away. That always takes time. True forgiveness is whole hearted and doesn’t look back - it is about continuing with your lifes’ journey.

"Don’t wait to feel in the mood to forgive. Take yourself in hand and set out toward the serenity you seek. Forgiveness is your choice to make." - Toni Sciarra Poynter
