New Sketch And Sharing My Story

"Love is just a touch away . . ."

I sketched this sweet girl a few days ago. I love hearts. I had to get this image out of my head before it was lost. Yes, that tends to happen these days! lol

I have already started the background on a wrapped canvas which will be her home. I am using green for the grass, and peach/yellows for the sky, with a purple tree and possibly lavender hearts. I am thinking her dress will be white with lavender for the heart on her back. Not sure yet if she will be a brunette or blond. As I am looking at the colors I chose for her background I want to change them because they seem so bright to me but I am just gonna go with it! You know how much I struggle with colors. I suppose if I really hate it I can just paint right over it with something else. lol

Also today I am sharing my story over at Do What You Love For Life hosted by the lovely Beth Nicholls. So, for more about me and how I arrived here at Artsy Butterfly hop on over to Beth's website and check it out as well as many other inspiring stories all about doing what you love!
