she always knew she was strong

kelly's painting under andrea's photo
yes. she did.

my goodness kelly sent me this painting that i absolutely fell in love with. in fact to quote my email to her... i was obsessed with it and kept taking peeks through out the day. is it the turquoise i love so? the hair? the looking sideways? the mischievous face? the red against the teal? the words? how fitting it is? the cheeks? the muddiness of the face? loooove and what a surprise to have it arrive at my doorstop with a note "i wanted you to have her".  big happy tears my friend.

thank you darling. for now she's going under my photo of myself feeling like a pirate taken by hula. both remind me of who i want to be when i grow up is right inside. 

i also wanted to say thank you karen for buying my original painting and showcasing it on BlogHer :) more originals are slowly making their way in my shoppe (my friend kate says she pronounces it shop-pay. does anyone else?)

annnnd if anyone is interested in being a creative ally and sponsor as seen on the right hand side of my blog shoot me an email for details: matimcd(at)hotmail(dot)com
