Because Angie aka No More Empty Fortune Cookies and I had a fabulous Saturday. And I didn't even have to kidnap her!
My love was amazed at my lack of self preservation, as was hers. Without knowing each other, we planned to spend the day together ridding ourselves of negativity and releasing it into the Universe at Cindy Wunsch's Take Flight Workshop. I suppose it's hard for non-bloggers to understand that we know each other. That's okay. Fortunately, neither of us really asked for permission to hang out with a would-be ax murderer.
You can see my release above. Full of swallows taking off and leaving behind red poppies. It wasn't until I put some blood on the main swallow's wings that I felt like it was finished. It has all kinds of paper crumples underneath to give it depth. Drippings of soy wax. Cut outs of birds and circles. Drizzles of paint. Stamps of words that mean so much to me. I have always had trouble flying.
Angie created the most stunning mermatron! You'll have to head on over to her blog to read all about it. She details her creation much better than I ever could. Trust me. It is FANTASTIC! I wish you could see the colors in the sunlight!
What a lovely day we had! I am so grateful.

~AirmanMom returning to her blog...
Sounds like the two of you should set off to paint together more often. Those are wonderful paintings both and it sounds like you had a good time too.

Glad you had fun at Day Camp Arts and Crafts! Just kidding....again..
Beautiful! By the sound and looks of things, the day couldn't have been better.
I love what you did...the freebirds are amazing!
Nothing like self-esteem booster to see the end result of your job. :) I enjoyed looking over your work and your friend's - imagine how you two will progress in terms of creativity and definition as you "practice" often. Don't stop! :)
Glad you both had so much fun! I love your work! So nice. :)

Do you know what I'd give to have a day like that!! Your art is wonderful and it's so alive!! What a talented lady you are, RLL.
I've often wondered how many folks who blog have ever gotten to meet each other? Be kind of cool to have a big blogging get-to-gether sometime.
What interesting creations...what a marvelous day you both had.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Nice paintings! I love the message at the top of your blog, btw. :)

i'm a lesbian 2.
i like finding blogs by lesbians.
Wow. Those are just amazing. I don't think I could ever create something like that. But boy do I need some negative energy released!
Creativity is the mother of all relationships!
Yes, I just butchered a saying for this comment, but heck, I like it!
that is awesome ... i am just not artistic like that ... jealous!!
Loving BOTH of those paintings, all of the texture! I'm so judgmental of my painting, that I can't even do it right now. Amazing what can happen when we just let go........
Wow! They're both fantastic!
such talent! It's great that you two got to share in such a wonderful experience.
Hopefully there will be many more!
hugs!!
Wow! What cool art! I bet that really was fun!
Happy Hump-Diggity Day!
isnt it funny how we can meet bloggers that we dont know but know them so well already. i think its great and have done it many times.
i love the creations. you gals are so creative :)
Beautiful RLL! I used to paint all the time for release, this post (and photos) really make me miss it. Thanks for sharing.
Meeting up with blogger friends are the bestest of times!
I LOVE the mermaid, rather the mermatron - she's wonderful and the three dimensional addition of the beads just makes it even better!
Sounds like a great way to spend the day.
