There is nothing like painting to ease my mind.
Painting saves lives.. mostly the artists & then some times paintings touch something in others. I don't paint thinking of others... I think of the painting. Lost in shades of browns & green with bits of blue and dots of purple. Not sure why the 'dots' evolved but that blue sky was just a little too boring.

I like to start first thing, usually start around 5 or 6 and paint off and on the entire day- with this incredible weather we are having - the late summer is a bit of a distraction- loving every sun ray. Size does matter! When it comes to brushes! I start with the big to base color & then most is completed with a small brush - the smallest a 0'. I think a week - two is a long time for a painting but just read of this artist who spends no less that 2 months on each- his detail is lifelike.
This Afternoon Delight bear will be finished later today! My son & I are off to a wonderful breakfast and a couple of appointments- then back home to finish- I'm excited & can't wait now to have my bear in my bedroom! My own daily mental reminder to embrace and give thanks for every new day & natural healing available to us all & my own inspiration to GET BUSY! Paint. I read a quote - simple & true.. want to be successful?
Focus on your own life.
With all that is happening in the world NOW... I realize how trivial my own problems can be. Spain, Puerto Rico, the USA & gun violence. Weather.. death.. disease outbreak.
I am grateful to spend my days painting, surrounded by love- 2 legs & 4. Give Thanks!
Tomorrow - my complete bear! & this weekend is Thanks Giving!
I don't know about you but I'M GIVING THANKS, simply to be alive.
NOM NOM NOM! Let the pie baking begin!
with Love
