Be Radiant

Playing Fashion Designer This Morning

I'm not one to usually celebrate the latest 'color of the year',

like last years emerald green.

Although I love actual emeralds and the greens of nature.

But this years color Radiant Orchid is one of my favorites!

So I mixed up my version of it and played with paints and watercolor paper.

I think the inspiration struck when I cut that tag off of a new top I'm wearing today.

There were other words on it, but the

Be Radiant

really caught my attention!

Do you like my lilacs?

{you can go to the dollar store and create some spring too}

I've been working in pastel lately

Above is a little sketch inspired by a girl who came to the party.

Don't you love her leggings and socks?

And what fun that they matched my pink shoes, which she put on for some photos.

I'm also working on a larger version in acrylic.

The sun came out for the above photos.

It's been raining so much, so that light was greatly appreciated!

Lovely Ones,

Whatever you do this week

Go Forth and Be Radiant!

was what was needed

While winter holds back the flowers

and color that spring will reveal

I bought these colorful vases at a thrift store this week.

~ a combination of fuchsia and radiant orchid ~

and a little aqua/turquoise

One cold morning as the sun reflected their light

I was mesmerized

and knew COLOR and LIGHT was what

I'd been longing for

May the blessings and beauty of

color

light ~ and ~ love

be splashed all over you this Valentine's week!

 God's love for you is gloriously radiant
