Be Bold

The artist shows the beauty of life, everything from the morning sunshine to the most vibrant sunset. Don’t be afraid to show the world your colorful thoughts. Don’t hold back you inner creative. The moment an artist turns her back to that, the world is a darker place. Let the world see the artist in you.

Plein Air Painting

Question one must ask - Do I paint on  location or in studio today?

 The more I paint, the more I prefer the great outdoors as my work space. There is something about connecting with nature while creating a visual history of it. 

I had been itching to paint outdoors versus inside and it was incredible to be back outside. Yes, me who hates being cold, painted in the snow. I got all bundled up, including feet warmers to complete this painting below. Turned out my challenge was not being cold after all, it was how the snow (big white fluffy snowflakes) affected my paint. "Snowy" 12x12

This is excellent timing for Christmas Presents.

Thanks.

Perseverance

The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs…one step at a time. Or one painting at a time.

Perspective

The longer I live, the more I realize the

 impact of attitude on life. 

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. 

It is more important than the past, 

than education, than money, than 

circumstances, than failures, than success, 

than what other people think or say or do. 

It is more important than appearance, 

giftedness or skill. 

It will make or break a company, 

a church, a home.  

The remarkable thing is we have a choice 

everyday regarding the the attitude we will 

embrace for that day. 

We cannot change our past...  

We cannot change the fact that people will 

act a certain way. 

We cannot change the inevitable. 

The only thing we can do is play on the one 

string we have, and that is our attitude...  

I am convinced that life is 10% what 

happens to me and 90% how I react to it. 

And so it is with you...
