The weekly word for Illustration Friday is Resolve, appropriately enough.
mixed media on 12 x 12 canvas board
Resolve to be quite, listen, make peace, be still, believe, embody mindfulness, dream, create and love to your fullest.
I was very much inspired (obviously) by my new book, Taking Flight: Inspiration & Techniques to give your Creative Spirit Wings by Kelley Rae Roberts. I love this book. Kelly is inspiring, gentle, supportive and encouraging. She takes some beautiful techniques, contributed by many other amazing artists, and gives step by step instructions to “give your creative spirit wings”. Everything you need to get the paint brushes out and make a mess. And a mess I did make. My hubby gave this book to me as a Christmas gift and I love it!
That is a really fantastic piece. I love it! That book looks very inspiring. Thanks for the review!

Regina! This is so beautiful and full of heartfelt words! The composition really invites us to think about the kinds of things we should work on to be more whole as people. It’s very inspirational!
