...Hi Serena,<br /><br />Hope you are feeling much better now.<br />I think you are a wonderful artist and wish I could paint like you! :)<br />Sometimes our mind, body and soul need to reenergize themselves and we feel as though we are lacking something. But YOU are not! I know you are on the right path with your art. Just keep meditating and<br />soon you will feel fulfilled. <br /><br />HugsNorma Soulet (AZArtist)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14316660985253319460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-10760178538141433322009-10-11T15:17:52.018+10:002009-10-11T15:17:52.018+10:00Wow, you desire to be a great artist and I desire ...Wow, you desire to be a great artist and I desire to be half as good as you.
