I do have the photo from yesterday's painting entitled, "blessing upon blessing". As I look at the painting I am reminded of something my mom taught me when I was just an itty bitty...we were on her bed and she was teaching me how to color and about colors and she said "Alisa, things are never just one color, there are always different shades of that color and other colors as well...you have to look carefully to see all the colors, that's what gives things their dimension and makes them interesting." I have never forgotten that and to this day I CANNOT paint in one color. So thanks mom, for "blessing" me with your creative insight and love of color!!!
