"We Love"







I have been so inspired by the beautiful artists that have been journaling this month based on prompts by Misty Mawn. Each day there has been a different color theme. One was white. I have never worked with white so I thought I would give it a shot. Well it was easier said than done; I ended up working with creams, browns and little bit of red. I am pleased with how it came out.

The quote in the painting is by author CS Lewis. You are probably familiar with his book series "The Chronicles of Narnia." You may not know that this man had an amazing love story. There was even a movie done in 1994 based on his story. The movie is called "Shadowlands" and stars Sir Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger. I have always loved this movie and highly recommend it; beware though...you will need tissue.

LOVE the new piece. She came out beautiful, even if you had to use come creams! And I love that quote by C.S. Lewis. I have so many of his books.
I also wanted to let you know that I've tagged you! Pop over to my blog to see the rules.
Cheers!

Lovely!! Your work is so cute and whimsical. And I love the C.S. Lewis quote and actually a lot of his works - haven't seen that movie tho, I'm adding it to my must-see list :>

Thank you for visiting and your sweet words on my journal pages.

She is gorgeous, Shonna. Good for you for exploring uncharted territories. It can be scary.

I used your cupcake fairy tag in a piece for the 52Q challenge I am in. It was perfect for the prompt.
