Challenge # 7 Breathe!

1/31/2011

21 Comments

 
The challenge this week was to Breathe, relax and smile. I accomplished 2 of the 3 with this first try.  I forced myself to relax and breathe deeply....but the smile did not come. This task was a bit of a comfort to me however. This week my dearest of friends tragically lost her grandson to a school playground accident. He was 9 years old. He was full of promise and her greatest delight. I kept saying to myself as I tangled this morning. "Just Breathe" and that would be my advise to Patti this morning... until the joy returns to your life....."just breathe......my dearest friend.....just breathe!  I love you!

This one was annoyingly hard to color.......I should have shaded in black and white.....however, I did continue to breathe. Does that count?

I posted this separately but I just have to put one photo of it on this challenge because it is the first thing I thought of when I saw breathe.
I can't resist....Laura, only choose a couple for the slide show.  I don't mean to do so many....it is just that I am addicted to challenges! Sorry.

How horrible! Your poor friend. I can't think of a greater tragedy.

It's stories like this that make me thankful for what I have. Laura's challenge reminds me that zentangle provides a good way to pause, reflect and remember all the good things in life.

My heart goes out to your friend. My sweet neighbour lost her first child when he was only 18 months old to a minor accident at his babysitter's home. Three years later we are still barely able to speak of him. There is so much symbolically happening in your illustration; your friend is fortunate to have someone care so deeply that her sorrows are shared.

Oh my dear! My heart fell to my stomach. I have 3 children, around that age. I can't imagine the pain your friend, the child's parents and even the children and teachers that were witness.

Beautiful tangle. I can only imagine how difficult this one was for you, and will conjure up the memory of this tragedy for now on.

My thoughts are with your friend in this tradgedy. What a good reminder it is to breathe and be grateful for what we have because it can be gone in an instant. Your tangle is beautiful.

Whenever my daughter calls all upset, the first words out of my mouth are 'take a breath'. Love your hot air balloons!

I'll pray for your friend and the whole family. Loosing a child is such a tragedy. Looking at the first ZT you created I felt all the healing energy you put into it. Shall it help your friends. The coloring is so stunning as ever. You mastered this technique… (*bowing low*)

So sorry for your recent loss and that of your friend. It's always hard to lose someone, it is especially hard to lose a young one. *sigh* It's been a rough week indeed. Your tangles are beautiful! I'm glad you have that distraction to help you through this time. Beautiful work!

            I am a wife, mother, grandmother, clerk, and appreciator of  art. Sometimes I try to produce some art myself. Mainly I love the art of others. Doodling has been a big part of my life. Notes were never left unadorned. Now that I have found zentangle....doodling      has become more exciting and fun!  I hope you enjoy.
