"Barely Controlled Chaos" is about my life, it's tendency to careen out of control, and how I manage to survive with the help of good friends and family.

Here is the painting my class completed...I put the mat on it to make it "pop" Once again, I am not really happy with the end result...I know, I know, I'm way too critical of my work.
The painting is lovely, I don't think you have anything to be disappointed with! Perhaps you would like it better if you put a lighter mat on top (double matting)...maybe a color to really bring out the detail, I'm thinking a green or yellow/orange or even another blue??
I love those oranges and yellows. They are so bright and cheerful, as if they are shouting: "Hello here I am!!" or "spring is almost here". A really lovely painting. I'd be proud if I could paint like that!
I am 52 years old. I've been a mother since I was sixteen. A grandmother since 30-something. I live in a log house, ten miles outside a small town nestled in the foothills of the Oregon Cascades. I work hard at trying to decrease my carbon imprint on this world, while also working hard to leave my soul imprint.
