I completed the icon I am giving to my brother and his new wife as a wedding gift. 🙂  I had a hard time starting the piece.  I  was fearful of making a mistake.  But once I pushed through my initial hesitation, it was really wonderful to paint.  I feel completely at home in my paints and brushes.  I even made mistakes, but they could be fixed…just like everything.Â
Thank you Mary, your presence and guidance filled me. Â
