Hand art duplicated

I am dealing with healing... In many ways, actually. How does one heal? Faith and prayer, positive attitude and gratitude, forgiveness and love. Another way I, myself heal physically is to find ways to relax, and as a mom that is far from easy, yet the answer for me is somewhat simple.

 Creating Art.

I always have a continuous flow of things that I am creating. The key is to have such things around at all times and still find them fun and not get overwhelmed…AND to actually finish them. I have friends who are so very talented and have the most amazing ideas, yet they never finish what they started. They get burnt out and burdened by the tasks at hand. I have been there…I have been that person. But, I have found the way to consistency and to enjoy myself with all projects that I am working on. Some for others and some for fun!
A friend of mine bought me a book for Christmas called "The Beauty of Zentangle". It's a wonderful and inspiring book. I've had a lot of fun going through it…getting ideas here and there. My friend who bought the book for me said that there was a drawing in the book that she was drawn to…She said that she wanted me to do my own version of it. I haven't done it with ALL my own designs, for now I thought that I would do my own version of the artist, Goretti Lewis.
Today I finished my version.

This is my freehand version…VERY similar and almost exact to Goretti Lewis'. I look forward to doing another version will all my own designs.

Here is a photo of my drawing and Goretti Lewis'. Mine is on the left and Lewis' is on the right…
