Wow, I wish I had taken pics of this painting from beginning to end as it went through so many changes. I painted this during my last few art classes and it started out very fairy tale like and then it became more realistic. But I just was not happy with it so was ready to shelf it for awhile as I have done in the past with other pieces of my art.

However, my wonderful art instructor took one look at the brown cabin I had painted and said you need to listen to your heart and paint from that place. As soon as I did the colour and whimsy I am known for came through. I have always painted with colour and as she pointed out you really need to be true to yourself because your art is an expression of who you are. So I am hearting the end result and I am listening to the quiet or sometimes rather loud whispers of my heart as I start my next piece.
Smiles and a little bit of whimsy,
Kim
