Whatever Life Takes Away From You, Let It Go....

Did something ever happen to you in the past that you've had a hard time letting go or someone in your life that you are having a diffucult time forgiving? This advice really hits home with me right now, and couldn't be better said. Hope this works for you too.

“ Whatever life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now."

~ don Miguel Ruiz

I would love to have your opinion.....

Do you have a minute?

I'd love to have your opinion.

I had been waiting so long for the opportunity to paint a cross because there are so many things that you can do with them. I was doing an order for a client of mine and I happened to find out that their son was being Baptized this weekend so I surprised them with a gift, the above cross. I had found the unfinished wooden cross at a local store and wondered if it was to feminine to use for a baby boy because of the curves and flower looking medallion in the center. Since it was my only option if I were to paint a cross I decided to place it in my cart and take it home to think about ideas and what I could do with it to make it more fitting for a boy. Since I was working with a nautical theme the best idea that I had was to use the center medallion as a compass. The carving on the medallion was really bumpy so it was hard to keep my lines straight, but overall I think it turned out ok. If there weren't so many curves to the cross I would have painted the "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" prayer along the edges. Darn.... So, I painted a little boy praying with a nautical scene. I almost painted thick stripes on the sides but wasn't sure if it would have taken away from the artwork on the front.... hmmm... The size of the cross is about 11"h x 9"w or so.

I would really like to have your opinions since I may be painting another cross like this one. My questions are:

1. Does the cross shape and medallion just look to feminine to use for a baby boy?
2. Did the idea of painting a compass on the medallion work? If not, what ideas do you have for that space that would work?
3. Do you think thick stripes on the sides would have been ok to paint?
4. Would it have been to busy if I had painted Cape Gabriel in a small curved banner above the boy's head?

Thanks for listing in and giving me your two cents. I really appreciate any feedback that you have!

Lurearts home decor, kitchen ware and jewelry make a sophisticated statement on Etsy.com!

If you've ever gone through the process of redecorating your home you'll understand the frustration of finding interior decor that is truly unique. When I decorate I really want things in my home that not only captivates your attention, but can really make the space come alive with a style all it's own and really draw you into a room. Coming from a creative background I crave handmade items to decorate my home with and try to choose artists with different vibes for more of an eclectic feel. Now that we've settled into our new home, I'm finally coming around to decorating a few rooms and came across Pam McFaden's store called Lurearts on Esty.com. I looooove her choice of color and unique style that really brings a fresh approach to interior decor, kitchen ware and jewelry. All of her items are hand made and special. When you get a chance take a peek at her store HERE. She really brings attention to the term "less is more"!
