Happy New Year my friends!!
Oh my goodness! I can't believe it's been five years (almost to the day) since my last post! I've noticed a lot of people have been posting on social media what the last decade looked like for them and I won't go that far, but I can go back the last 5...
In January of 2015, my husband and I found out we were having a baby! Since then, we've grown from a family of 2 to 3, moved to 40 acres off grid with the view of heaven, and have been plugging along ever since. I've been on a 5 year sabbatical from creating any art. In between raising a little boy, running a business and keeping up around the homestead, I haven't made the time, but I'm determined to now!
A few days ago I decided I wanted to get back to my creative roots and start painting again. I've missed making art so much! So here's what I decided to do...are you ready? I'm going to paint a painting a day and post it here on my blog. Every piece will be available for sale and once it has sold, it will say so. Here's the cool thing. They are all going to be super affordable!
Today's painting is Llama. I've never painted a llama before and got the idea from a good friend of mine who loves them. For good measure, I decided to look up the symbolism for llama and this is what Google said:
As a totem, llama is a symbol of strength, perseverance, communication, confidence and often success. People born under the llama sign are people who know exactly what their goal in life is. You won't see them backing down from anything they set their minds on, and that is the only way they know.
I have found it ironic that I chose this animal to start my Painting a Day for the year. Today has been nothing short of amazing and now that I have my first painting finished, it's even better!
It's late and I have no sun to take a good picture, so when I get a chance, I'll take a better one and upload it for you.
Until tomorrow, have a great day or night where ever you may be!
Peace and Love,
Stephanie
