Birds! With Swirly Wings!
If you live in the Huntsville area, might I suggest you attend a Spirited Art class? You pay $35 dollars and no matter how little natural ability you have (Trust me. I have NONE.) you walk away with a painting that YOU painted. And you will love it because it will be awesome because YOU DID IT. I needed this tonight more than ANYTHING right now, I believe.
