I never thought I would do a painting of a cheerleader. But there she was on my art table… she came out of nowhere.

Cheer ~2013

… and the adorable note from the young girl who inspired her.

Since putting the finishing touches on Cheer in mid-December, I have not touched a paintbrush.  She made me super happy though while I made her, and looking at her brings back those butterflies.

What will 2014 bring?  And what will I bring to 2014?

Cheers!  Happy New Year!
