The Paintings will Come when They are Ready
I’m feeling remarkably better, today. Thank you for thinking of me. What do I want to share with you today? Hmmm. Let me pause my mind and think of something to focus the writing around. Maybe I focus it around focus. Focus is an an important part of life. Multitasking is important, but I would … Continue reading
There is an Art of Living
I coughed so much, in the night, I wasn’t at all sure how I was gong to sleep. I have kids in my house, so I grabbed the first cough medicine I found, which happened to be for kids. That lasted for no time at all – well, really, I gave it about an hour … Continue reading
Don’t be a Lonely Painter
Ten page views today, that’s good. So, maybe, I’m not just talking to myself – not that there’s anything wrong with that, lol. Oh, my day. What am I thinking about today. My neck hurts. I’m a little tired, but nothing a cup of coffee won’t cure. I’ve been sitting, lately, at the local coffee … Continue reading
That Place is Called Home
Minimalism. Evasive. I’m trying it. Sometimes it seems to work. I definitely feel more peaceful in my own spaces when I have paperwork, clutter and projects left out at a minimum. This is easier thought of than accomplished. And this is life, a continuous evolution of the in basket. But, last week, I walked circles … Continue reading
Beach House Flowers
Beach House Flowers, that’s the mood I’m in. Minimalism. Simplicity. I was out at some tennis courts, last night, underneath the lights. I didn’t even have a racquet with me, just stepped out of the car to go walk around. The expanse and the simplicity gave way to feelings of serenity. I love open spaces, … Continue reading
I Believe in Moving Forward
So, I’m enjoying the blog, really. And I don’t mind talking to myself here at the beginning. I have always been one to enjoy my own company. I possibly write better in letters and have thought of having in mind friends to write to when I am here and that could help personalize the text. … Continue reading
Hope is a Good Thing to Have
Hope. Hope is a good thing to have. And hope is a good thing never to let go of. This is a picture from my album Garden Flowers that, years ago, I titled Hope because that was the first sentiment I had when seeing it. Something about it, the softness, the shadows, the light and … Continue reading
Painting When I’m Not Painting
I dream a lot. I do more painting when I’m not painting. It’s in the subconscious. ::: Andrew Wyeth ::: This is one of my favourite quotes, it runs through my mind often. Though I began painting about a year and a half ago, perhaps I was painting in my subconscious all along. I love being a painter, the physical … Continue reading
The Art of Your Life
When you’re talking to yourself, it helps to be kind and consider greatly what you have to say. Just like it is important to be careful with what you identify, it is important to be conscious of what you are telling yourself and why. I believe in listening to the still, small voice that is … Continue reading
It’s a Little Like Time Travel
I am here and it is like I am writing to myself, at this time. I’m at the beginning of blogging. And just like anything else new, I am finding my way just one step at a time. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing. There are challenges, for sure. It’s fun to move … Continue reading
