"Trust"

Detail of "Trust"

Sometimes you just have to follow the story and see where it leads.  That is lesson number one I have learned in life.  Quit trying to figure out the end before you begin. 


 For one, it would absolutely kill all of the fun. 

My desire for you--Peace, Abundance, Harmony, Love, Gratitude, Beauty, and Joy!

And this is how "Trust" started.  Hot pink and on a mission..:):)

 And this is "Trust" on her journey to discovering herself...:)))

 Secondly, it doesn't work that way, so you will spend a long time waiting and never really begin.  It is no fun  spending your entire life waiting.  So begin.  Begin where ever you are with whatever you have with whoever you are.   And know that whoever you are is just fine as well. 

It's called....
 Trust.

"Baby Blue"

"Baby Blue"

12 x 12in oil on museum quality panel

$350

We did a paint along in the workshop today (see above demo)....and it seemed to bring out lots of smiles and happy paintings in everyone!  Second day in the workshop means everyone is more relaxed and so there is even more laughter and good art taking place.  I feel so lucky that I get to do this--there is so much work that goes into preparing for one, I almost forget how much joy there is when I actually get to the "doing of it" part!  From dear friends I have known for 30 years to new ones just met yesterday, it makes for a one of kind experience each and every time.  Hard to believe it will be over tomorrow!  Gotta get this group to stand still long enough to get a group shot...:))  Will post that tomorrow.

Happy Friday!

"Daisy Blues" SOLD

"Daisy Blues"

6 x 6in, oil on canvas panel

$150 unframed

Blue + Daisies = carefree summer day

That's my take on why blue feeels so good when paired with daisies. Carefree, hanging upside down from the monkey bars, runnin' barefoot, drinkin' kool-aide kind of summer day.

I know, it's hard to imagine right now, both summer and hanging upside down......

Would you settle for sitting in the porch swing sipping ice tea kind of summer day?

Of course you would have your coat on.

And boots.

And maybe the tea would be hot instead of iced. But if you sat long enough the tea would become iced anyway. Along with some body parts that shall remain nameless here.

I fear it has become obvious......if someone doesn't rescue me from this winter weather I fear I will not be able to paint anymore.

Straight jackets are not very accomdating for holding a paintbrush.

Thank God for daisies and something blue...:)
