Ahhh the Sand Between My Toes

Are the winter blues starting to set in? and is do I really need to shovel for yet another snow storm on your mind?


Here is something to think about instead.

Transport yourself to the hot sunny beach in Florida. Picture yourself sitting on the beach with your favorite beverage while your skin is absorbing the heat from the hot sun. You enjoy the feeling of the sand between your toes as you make circles with your feet in the sand. All is quiet except for the sounds of the water crashing on the beach and the pigeons flying about looking for food. You may take a short nap and when you do look out to the water you see glistening sparkles of sun on the mini waves in the water.   Ahhh You could sit here all day.

What are you waiting for?

It is awesome you have a great idea. Take Action. A great idea with out action is just that, just an idea.

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

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.
