Happy Monday!
I am a dreamer and I like that part of me -- it keeps me thinking of sweet days and happy times.
When we look for our blessings and what gifts we have, we create more of them! It’s the glass half full theory and it’s a good theory. Sometimes during a painting you can focus on what isn’t working instead of what is working -- that’s when it is a good time to take a break, walk away, stretch, get a glass of water and return to your work with loving eyes and see what beauty is already there -- and then start over from there.
On this beautiful Monday, it is a great day to dream big dreams and count your many blessings!
Have a great week filled with smiles and love.

Red Fridays
It’s Friday and the day to wear RED to support our troops! Sometimes being a Hero means being there for the people that you love.
Life has a beautiful way of bringing smiles to us --- in so many wonderful ways!
Here’s to a day filled with smiles and the people we love!

Teachers
Teachers come to us when the “student” is ready. We are all students -- students in life and in art and in love. Life is a learning experience.
And art, like golf or music or dancing, is always a learning experience. Sometimes the message comes from a book or a movie or a song. And, sometimes, the teacher is yourself.
When I reach a place where I am not sure how to get the result on the canvas that I want, I sit down and go back through my older paintings and see what I love about them. Often times, I am amazed at the painting and wonder -- HOW DID I DO THAT?????
This is one of those paintings!!!!

Beautiful Moments
Love can come to us the tiniest ways -- mine started with a beautiful hummingbird who just couldn’t wait for me to hang the feeder that I had just filled.
He was happy to eat as I held the feeder -- two inches from my face.
It was such a magical moment. I was smiling from all over and from within. What a thrill to share a few moments with such a beautiful creature.
Life is full of beautiful moments! What are yours?

Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine’s Day -- the Day of Love.
I wish us all a day filled with lots of smiles, hugs, chocolates and flowers. My neighbor gave me some fresh violets from her garden this morning -- how are they even blooming this time of year -- I haven’t seen these pretty little flowers in a long time -- they are beautiful and what a pleasant surprise!
On this day of Love, take some time and call a friend and tell them how much you appreciate them -- give a hug to a neighbor, kiss your cat, and do something special for someone -- and remember the homeless people who would be happy with just a smile or a warm meal.
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about the candy and flowers -- although they are quite wonderful to receive -- this day is truly about sharing yourself -- sharing Love.
As I paint today, I am going to pour all of my love into my paintings, knowing that I am so blessed to be a painter and even more blessed that people receive joy and happiness from my art!
Thank you. I wish us all Love today and every day.
