Kindness always wins

My friend Linda asked her Facebook friends to describe kindness in one word.  She got almost 50 responses, with words like generosity, concern, and gentleness.  There were even some creative ones — puppy-like and empathagenerous were my faves.  

Linda sent me the link and asked me to come up with a visual way to display all of the responses.  This is what I did.

First I sketched it on canvas.  Then I started scraping on paint.canvas1

Finding everyone’s words in magazines took FOREVER, but was fun.  I decided to arrange them into a blooming flower.  I’m semi-happy with it.  The mounted print is in my Etsy shop.

    Naomi,

    I was so excited to see the artwork you created from the request for words. I am so excited to see it in a beautiful version AND learn your process! So cool! Just shared on all my social medias, but for some reason couldn’t tag you. Check it out and tag yourself if you can.
