Your dream is calling . . .

New painting - 16 x 20 canvas. The dark shadow in the corner is due to photographer error - not very good lighting I was using.  :)
A Work in Progress . . .
Here is the start of a new piece I am working on.

Every once in a while I need to work on a painting.
A painting not associated with an order or a sale or anything else.
Just a painting for creativity's sake.
This is one I began working on recently.
This was started on a day when I should have been working on one of several orders.
But I needed a break to do something mindless that didn't have a required "end result."
I got lost in the process of smearing on the background colors, splashing and flicking the paints around,
sketching in the face and wondering what message she had to share with me.
Time and responsibilities drifted away as I was lost in the process.

It not finished yet -
I still don't know how I am going to mount it or frame it.
But it sure felt good while I was in the moment.

A message with every word...

I've said it before . . .
I'll say it again.
Words are powerful.
I believe in the power of words.
I believe that the more you surround yourself with uplifting affirmative statements,
the more you start to live the uplifting affirmative statements.
These little minis are just the right size to hang in all sorts of spaces.
Hang yourself a note to keep positive thoughts with you where ever you go.

I'm feeling very Lazy Susan Today!!


I don't know who Susan was . . .but I am guessing that she was not lazy at all.
I am guessing if she had a rotating surface named after her,
she was very, very busy and needed to find a way to be more efficient.
All I know is I love painting on these surfaces.
And I love using them in my kitchen . . .or bathroom . . .or family room . . .or ???
I'm sure Susan was a multi-tasker - so the (un)Lazy Susan can be a multi-tasker, too.
Don't you think?

Medium mirror


This will be a mirror - right now it is a frame.
The mirror will be inserted next - but taking the picture with the mirror is a bit difficult.
You end up not knowing what you are supposed to look at . . .
all of the background scenery or the mirror frame?  LOL

Either way - I hope this brings a smile to your face!
