Happy WOYWW and Not-So-Wordless Wednesday, dear friends! Today I have a special treat for you. I want to introduce you to one of my favorite artists, Shirley Ng-Benitez, who I first had the pleasure of meeting during the 2010 One World One Heart tour!

| A Special Creation Just For Me |
Shirley is an illustrator who is famous for the beautiful watercolor illustrations she creates for children’s books. Visiting her blog and website always brings a smile to my face. Recently, I was fortunate enough to participate in a Pay It Forward she offered on her blog. Each of the pieces featured in today’s article were gifts she sent to me in her PIF!

| Her Eyes Were Muddy With Sadness |
The first piece illustrates both her business card and the splash page on her website, Shirley Ng-Benitz Illustration, where you can see samples from her portfolio and learn more about her as an artist. The second piece, Ramona Dreams, is a custom piece she created for me after I shared the things I love about her work! The third piece, Her Eyes Were Muddy With Sadness, is particularly meaningful to me and is my favorite illustration of Shirley’s. I am transported back to a different place and time whenever I look at this piece of art!
I hope you feel as blessed as I do this week as you journey from desk to desk and photo to photo this week. Have a fabulous WOYWW and Wordless (or Not-So-Wordless) Wednesday!

Stopping by from the Alexa hop. Those are really lovely! I do not have an artistic bone in my body and I've always wished I could paint. It seems like it would be very relaxing!
