My, oh, my what inspiration abounds here on SCS! And a most favorite challenge for me is Friday nights when the Inspiration challenge goes live! Audrie issued a Pinterest Board 'Nail Art' to gaze upon. Wouldn't it be nice to have your pick of nails? So in my wildest dream, I'd have nails like a mermaid...all hues of a tropical ocean...yep mermaid scales.
This work represents a stretching of my creative muscles. I want to be a 'real artist' who paints and splashes with wet mediums to abandon! And so this year I am on a journey into mixed media and a world wide challenge called ~WanderLust 2016~. It is a 50 week long series of mixed media 'lessons' from some of the most talented mixed artists in the WHOLE world...this is my first attempt at a larger canvas.

This is so you, Susan. I'm elated you're taking those classes. I think those classes reflect who you are and have been for years. This is gorgeous in color and composition. I can't wait to see what's going to unfold in the coming year. Unleash that wonderful creativity my friend.

She's beautiful, Susan! I love how you did her hair, and the bubble wand is made me smile. So wonderfully Susan!
