Graduate School and Sunflowers

So, I finished my electronic portfolio for Graduate School in Art Therapy on Friday. It was so awesome to get it done. I wanted to post a painting that I did this past year that I had not posted because up until recently I had not taken a picture of it. It is Sunshine for Carol as I painted it for my friend Carol who loves sunflowers.

New Beginnings for Feburary

February starts the beginning of some more New Beginnings. So far this year, I have quit my job at Child Protective Services, started art classes to pursue Art Therapy, paid off all my debt, and soon I will move to a new place of my own after living in a community house for nearly eight and half years. I wanted to start blogging again this month as well; to share what I have worked on and what I am currently working on through my journey of healing and school to become an Art Therapist. I worked on this piece and many others over the Holidays. It is a lively tree full of mystery and excitement.
