"Journey"




While into the youtube void, I came across the story of a handicapped cow named Dudley.. He was bought at a cow auction.. The farmer didnt noticed at first that Dudley was missing a foot and hobbled around on a stump.. The farmer kept him for 10 months not knowing what to do.. Finally, an answer came.. He was taken to Gentle Barn in TN, where through surgery and physical therapy.. along with a prosthetic leg, he now runs happy and free.. See Dudley's whole story here.. Well his story inspired me to do this piece.. He started out as a normal cow, with a journey.. Then I added all my little doodles and mixed media techniques.. I love the finished piece, but I also liked the process.. the "unfinished" cow.. This is acrylic based on a 18x24 stretched canvas.. I see more cows in the future <3

From my heart to yours <3

Welcome all!! Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved to create.. draw.. paint.. write stories.. anything my imagination could do :) This blog was made years ago.. I started it to post projects I made for the design teams I was on.. As you can see, I haven't used it for quite some time.. I have been on a little journey these past few years.. a journey to find myself... to find my happy.. I realized. I love to paint.. more so I love to paint for people.. I paint from my heart to yours.. Ive started painting a few years ago, and soon realized that my most favorite things to paint are things from your heart.. I listen.. I understand.. I use my intuition... Ive decided to recreate this blog.  To give it meaning.. My family, friends, and community have encouraged and inspired me on this adventure.. Not only will this be a blog to showcase my gallery, but a place to share stories.. stories about life, love, and meanings behind what I do.. It may take some time to get this blog in order (I have to reteach myself how to post, edit, design.. lol.. oy!!) I hope yall stick around.. ;)
