. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
here are two of my most favorite iphone photos taken last week & posted at instagram {i am totally addicted to this site}. my little guys hands and a shot from my daughter's music concert {i love the expressions on their faces}.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...my book came late tonight as the mail lady is dragging. and wanda is dragging tired after work and stuff today...so she peeked at 2 pages...but then closed it. she will look at it tomorrow morning when she is fresh and awake...otherwise she'd be awake all night long pouring over each page. i can dream about it this way, even more! mary beth is right about the "music guru". i suspect many of us are in deep trouble ordering these wonders...love it love and thank you thank you! xoxo

Misty, these paintings stopped me in my tracks! They are breathtaking! You never cease to amaze me...the depth of beauty that you can create.
My copy of your book came today, and I just sat down to open it. Of course, I first started at the back, where your picture is...and that made me smile. Then, I opened to the front...and by the time I got to the contents page...and that Anais Nin quote, and your artwork in the background...the tears started. I am just SO happy for you...and so happy you wrote this, and are sharing this with the rest of the world.
This book is uniquely you...and I can hear your voice, as I read the pages. I am going to savor each and every page...and then tell all my friends to go buy their own copy (no way are they borrowing mine!!!)
Just really happy for you...this book is a piece of art on it's own. It's beautiful! And something you should be so proud of!
Sending hugs from across the states to you!

Hi Misty,
Unfurling (such an apt name as I look around me and new life and flowers are blossoming everywhere), is as gorgeous and delightful as it is inspiring and informative!! I look forward to many happy sessions with it.
Your paintings are amazingly soulful and beautiful. Thanks for sharing so much of your wonderful self with us!
Lots of peace and joy,
Hilda

Your book just arrived yesterday! It is lovely and has some of the best instructions I've found for drawing faces. Just want to sit in a quiet corner and soak up the images. The entire book is lovely.
