Is it bad?

I just finished the piece I made for my blog friend in Australia
Shelley is the one who made me the 'oh so cool' angel doll Selena
She wanted a meditation piece for her altar

And I thought and thought
And thought some more
My brain acting like clogged pipes
I wanted to tear my hair out to encourage the flow

Until I woke up one day and the picture was in my head
My hands tried to keep up 
With the story line running through my head
Telling me that the angel stopped to rest a bit
Among the trees asleep under the frozen sky
And the flowers couldn't help themselves
As they began to awake from their slumber
Cheesy huh

Anyway, it's acrylic on a 9x12 canvas board
With dried flowers from the hydrangea in my yard
Feathers as wings
~ ~ ~ ~

But is it bad?
That I am oh so proud of this piece
And that I'm oh so happy to have made this
For my dear friend Shelley

And already I'm feeling guilt for being proud
And finding fault with the work
But it seems I'm feeling more love
Than I'm finding fault
Because somehow I know I didn't create this alone
(sorry the pic doesn't do a good job showing the blues)

  3. It's lovely! And every artist has a muse or a dream or some other connection to the Source of all Creativity. NO ONE creates alone. Don't deny your own undeniable creativity because of that!

  5. It's beautiful! And anything you create with love will be. I love your posts Elena, they are always thoughtful and resound with my own insecurities. Aren't we always kinder to others than our own sweet selves?
