A Day Off

Yesterday I took a day off. My daughters would laugh and say, "A day off from what? You don't work." Since they are still in the time of their lives when a typical job takes up five days a week, a day off to them just means you don't go to your place of work. . . . → Read More: A Day Off

Random Sleeping Man

This morning I read a post by Jennifer Boykin. (I follow her blog – she's really quite intuitive in a way I connect with) Her blog name, Life After Tampons, causes a few smiles, but it's the tag line that hits me where I need it to – "Quit your bitching – change your life." . . . → Read More: Random Sleeping Man

Umbrellas!

Today I ventured to Boston and the 60 degree, sunny weather required anything but an umbrella, but by the time I was on the commuter rail home at 5 pm, I still needed them. Not only one, but a bunch.

About a week ago a Boston mom of a very gifted eight year old . . . → Read More: Umbrellas!

It’s Like Watching The Night Sky..

"When I look into your eyes, It's like watching the night sky, Or a beautiful sunrise, There's so much they hold…. And just like them old stars, I see that you've come so far, To be right where you are, How old is your soul?

Well I won't give up on us, Even if the . . . → Read More: It’s Like Watching The Night Sky..

Oh My!

Do you even know how amazing this blog challenge is? First, I get all caught up in learning digital art. Then I meet the fabulous Diana Lesire Brandmeyer here in the challenge. She was so gracious to comment on my art attempts. Diana is an author and she has a children's book she would like . . . → Read More: Oh My!

Under The Knife

Yesterday I was surfing YouTube for a new painting project. I happened upon one that involved painting roses in oil with a palette knife by Ahuva Shweiki. Since the palette knife on my ArtRage app was still beyond my understanding, I decided that was a good place to start.

You know those "duh" moments? . . . → Read More: Under The Knife

Be Yourself…and..

This blog challenge is just the thing for January, which is usually a long, cold, uneventful month. I've met so many wonderful, creative souls who have gone out of their way to encourage me. I sit at night until the wee hours of the morning reading all the wonderful blogs on the Ultimate Challenge Facebook . . . → Read More: Be Yourself…and..

The Eyes Have It

Seeing is believing….at least that's how I felt today after another painting lesson on YouTube. Yesterday on the Facebook Ultimate Blog Challenge page I read a blog that had beautiful pictures of colorful eyes. (I think by now I have established that as an artist bright colors ignite me.) The first thing I thought of . . . → Read More: The Eyes Have It

Be Do Have

Today seems to be the day everyone is digging into their inbox with gusto, myself included. After cleaning out all the junk, the gems quickly rose to the top. Paul Taubman, my gratitude guru, had the best post regarding resolutions that I have seen anywhere in the last 48 hours.
