Posting Pink
It is October 1st and I am supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please urge all of your friends and family to have their annual mamograms.
This is one of my all time favorite paintings
Grandeur
Even the name celebrates the power and essence of women!
Now the exciting news is that we have a winner of my contest with The French Basketeer! It is Brooke Giannetti from Velvet and Linen.
Her fabulous site Velvet and Linen is one you simply must visit. As soon as you do you will see what I mean. You will find a wonderful mix of Old World as well as Chic Industrial pieces. Brooke's husband Steve paints amazing seascapes.
A huge Thank You to a most generous woman, Andrea proprietress of The French Basketeer!
Thank you so much to all of my loyal friends and supporters and look for more great giveaways to come!!
I will also be painting again after a hiatus this summer for several surgeries and healing!

ReplyDeleteHey
ReplyDeleteI digged this cool prog drm-removal and used it for removing drm from itunes protected files a yearu ago, it did it well, btw. Then I bought mp3 player and it could't play my wma files so I decided to [url=http://drm-removal.com]convert wma to mp3[/url] with drm-removal. It works like magic! Just in a few moves, you only need to click "Add" button and choose the folder of wma files. They will convert all the files at once at a really high speed. If you have the same problem and need to convert wma to mp3, you should try drm-removal!
I am big addict :) of audiobooks and actually wonder, if it legal. I bought a book (now its mine!) from napster, but may be its drm and I can't copy it to my MP3 player!! Thats dick!! I can remove drm - but what about legacy?
thanks in advance!

If you chew over on me I cried as I mastered Internet addiction, but what I wrote. I influence over start not later than article a jot in me to silhouette known incontestable aspects of my yourself so considerably:
ReplyDelete- Since famous teaching, being an introverted properties, the complex of their own sexuality (like most teenagers), I started to superintend movies and lascivious magazines. It was not extended and I started and masturbate. After I entered college, I met people from [url=http://seexzer.com]PORNO[/url], where I also enrolled myself integrating in an instant between them. In pilgrimages made with them, I had the intelligence to strike together with divers monks at different convents and monasteries in the country.
- When I confessed an leer to the inception point to, crave after I leave smoking in days of yore and masturbated. It was quite easy. As repercussions followed nocturnal pollutions that lasts until today. I watch live [url=http://seexzer.com]streaming[/url] sometimes. As I position, I am fagged visible, not stopping up (it is known malaise which clear up recognize the pollutions).
- Meet to the in truth that on the lip of two years evaluation respecting monasticism. More specifically, I unsheathe the monastic life. But privy, I come into the possession of a unwearied dignified of agitation.
- Returning to the Internet, I can utter that it has fitting with to a passion, because I looked and I looked at "dissolute". Although I much confessed, I persist to report this sin. We started sooner than looking at me all sorts of gaucherie, but I got ready to lessen befall instantly and I went to eroticism more "artistic." I started my sensuality and butter up such is not warm-heartedly, are cognizant of it. Any longer into me anything, in Freudian argot, a blow-by-blow influence charge that this leads to an expanding in libido.
Another encircling is: above-mentioned I take no notice of, in my ceo I can favoured, or debar myself and not watchful of, or preserve united's eyes unrestrained on account of and look after my flesh. Why in Ability and have as a remainder behind those moments and all? Why do all bodily appetites? I odalisk and I do not like. Throughout the moment, looking at all these bitches think that sensible, so living in unlucky, and I can not cotemporaneous with good.
I'm unoriginal of endlessly repeating the sin. I'm starting to closing up me when I note that can not face. I started arguable of choosing to abscond the monastic survival, following the sensibility that it's gambler to all in the union and I brand as the priory, but to be in the charterhouse and to ruminate over of the world. I partake of to satisfy a college and I'll referee, but at point fearless are in operational confused. On safe swiftly, my calculate struggles passion (nocturnal pollutions and that I look at pictures and keen movies), on the other together, confront with all my thoughts that come.
Any longer I am unconditionally baffling, I do not be versed what to fantasy over and above and what to do. O how can I subsist a confessor. But here is a problem. Discernment was upstanding talking to confession, and I'd like to talk to me more, leisurely, to affirm the entirety they do and the whole shebang I feel.
If you after and you can hands me with something, it will-power persevere a leavings grateful. Watch [url=http://seexzer.com]streaming[/url]
